🏴 11 Scots on Team GB are coming home with medals!
The USA topped the table, with 39 golds. China finsihed second with 38 golds, followed by hosts Japan with 27 golds.
Boris Johnson said it had been a “brilliant” Olympics for Great Britain’s boxers after Lauren Price struck gold.
Price secured the medal with victory in the women’s middleweight final against China’s Li Qian.
Boris Johnson said the success of Team GB athletes had shown a “central truth” about the country, that “there is no limit to what we can achieve”.
The Prime Minister said: “These past two weeks, Team GB have shown us the very best of this country – demonstrating our sportsmanship, hard work and determination.
“From record-breaking performances in the pool to gravity-defying runs in skateboarding and BMX, this team has shown extraordinary depth and breadth of talent.
“I want to thank each and every one of our Olympians and all those behind the scenes whose hours of coaching and training have been instrumental to our success.”

In his message to Team GB’s Olympians, Boris Johnson said: “This team has shown that even in the most difficult circumstances, sport brings people together and changes lives. You have shown grace in victory and amazing courage in defeat.
“And whilst you may not have heard the roar of the crowd in Tokyo, every one of you has given us a reason to cheer back home - in living rooms, pubs, parks and offices across the land.
“Above all, you have again revealed the central truth about this country: that when we put our minds to it, there is no limit to what we can achieve.
“Thank you Team GB. We are so, so proud of you. Now bring on Paris!”
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer offered his congratulations to “Welsh wonder” Lauren Price as the Great Britain boxing team “enjoys its most successful Olympics for over 100 years”.
“Congratulations one and all,” he said.
Sir Keir also hailed the “phenomenal” ride by Jason Kenny to win keirin gold.
“Jason has thrilled us through four Olympics winning more medals and golds than any other British athlete in history. Simply superb,” he said.
