TEAM GB are in fine fettle as Paris 2024 gets underway.
We boast an array of medal hopefuls who aim to capture the hearts of the nation.

SunSport invites you to meet Team GB’s amazing Wags.
Holly, 24, is the daughter of world renowned chef Gordon Ramsay.
She has dated swimmer Adam Peaty for three years, after they met on the set of Strictly Come Dancing.
The brunette beauty, who was a former model, is now an influencer with nearly 350,000 Instagram followers.
She works with brands such as Space NK, Net A Porter and Charlotte Tilbury.
Earlier this year, Holly revealed a matching tattoo with Adam.
Seen cheering Matt Fitzpatrick on at The Open last year was blonde beauty Katherine.
A former Miss Jersey runner-up from 2014, the couple made things official with a social media post – then Fitzpatrick later shared a heartfelt message to Katherine on Valentine’s Day.
They have attended several golf tournaments together, including the RBC Heritage, which Fitzpatrick won in 2023.
Earlier that month, Fitzpatrick played alongside Katherine at Augusta for the Par 3 contest at the The Masters.
Katherine looked the part in her green Masters cap and matching trainers but she is not a natural when it comes to golf, having previously worked as a tennis professional at Bay Head Yacht Club in New Jersey.
The wife of canoeist Joe Clarke, Annabel knows all about sacrifices for a potential Olympic hero.
She left behind a successful beauty salon in Staffordshire so he could move to Essex for more intense training.
Annabel was also supportive in his quest by being the bread-winner of the family.
She has since opened up Belle and Co Beauty in Waltham Abbey, and welcomed their first child last year.
Dental hygienist Shenel began dating Zharnel Hughes in 2018, after his public split from Dina Asher-Smith.
But they kept their romance private until 2022, making sure media scrutiny didn’t interrupt their happiness.
Shenel has been credited with keeping Zharnel’s mind on the track.
Additionally, she has also founded a luxury hand-poured scented candle brand called Esenek.co Candles.
Cyclist Tom Pidcock’s greatest supporter is Bethany.
Like Joe Clarke’s missus, she has made compromises including moving from her native Yorkshire to live in Andorra with her man.
According to her Instagram, which has 11,000 followers, she is a project manager and interior designer.
They are also the proud parents of two Dachsunds called Chestnut and Acorn, who boast their own social media account.
Leah, who is a former gymnast, is married to childhood sweetheart and Team GB star Max Whitlock.
The pair met at South Essex Gymnasts Club when Whitlock was 12.
They got engaged in 2016 and married a year later.
She told The Express of the Lake District proposal: “It was a beautiful place and we went for a walk around the grounds and he laid down a picnic blanket and asked me.”
Leah welcomed daughter Willow in 2019.
Nearly 15,000 residents – around 10,500 of which are athletes – will be cramming into the Olympic village between July 26 and August 11.
To ensure the athletes feel at home, a number of provisions have been made by organisers.
One of these is the stocking of some 300,000 condoms, in theory enough for around two every day during the run of the Games.
A number of Olympic athletes have opened the door on their steamy lives behind-the-scenes when in camp, including huge sex orgies and parties.
London 2012 had claimed the title of “the raunchiest Games ever”, but the 150,000 condoms ordered paled in comparison to the 450,000 ordered for the Rio Games four years later.
Condoms have been laid on by organisers at every game since Seoul 1988, when it they were used to spread awareness of HIV and AIDS.
Even with an intimacy ban at Tokyo 2020 due to Covid-19, some 150,000 johnnies were handed out.

She can been called a calm and positive influence on Norrie by his parents.
As reported by The Times, Norrie swapped a life of hedonism for a more professional one following a moped crash six years, and Louise was the catalyst.
