Great Britain, the team of the British Olympic Association (BOA), competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004 with the team of selected athletes was officially known as Team GB.{{cite web|title=Team GB|url=http://www.olympics.org.uk/contentpage.aspx?page=127|publisher=British Olympic Association|access-date=11 June 2009|archive-date=25 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181225174652/https://www.teamgb.com/|url-status=dead}} The British sent a wide-ranging delegation to the Games, continuing its ubiquitous presence at the Olympics. Great Britain's 264 athletes, 161 men and 103 women, competed in 22 disciplines throughout the two-week event. The team entered the opening ceremony behind the Union Flag carried by judoka Kate Howey.{{cite news|title=Kate Chuffed To Be Olympic Flag Bearer|url=http://news.sky.com/story/289689/kate-chuffed-to-be-olympic-flag-bearer|publisher=Sky News|date=11 August 2004|access-date=25 April 2014}} Double gold medal winner Kelly Holmes carried the flag at the closing ceremony.
These games continued the success that Great Britain made at Sydney although they won just nine gold medals compared with the eleven won at Sydney overall the team did increase their overall medal haul to thirty medals and for the second summer games in a row finished in tenth place on the medal table.
Chronology
The delegation started the Olympics slowly, the silver its divers won on 14 August being the first of only a few opening-week medals. Although a sprinkling of silver and bronze medals – including a pair in men's and women's k1 kayak slalom – enlivened the mid-week, Britain's first gold did not come until Friday the 20th (won by Chris Hoy in the 1 km track cycling time-trial).
Then, on 21 August ("Golden Saturday") Britain's contributions to the medal table became more significant. First Britain's traditional strength in rowing continued as the men's coxless four, stroked by Matthew Pinsent, narrowly won gold, a defining moment since this was Pinsent's fourth gold medal in as many games.{{cite news|title=Fourth gold for Pinsent|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics_2004/rowing/3585478.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=21 August 2004|access-date=25 April 2014}} Sailor Ben Ainslie wrapped up a successful few days of racing with a gold, as did the women's Yngling sailboats who were finally awarded the gold medal they had sewn up on Thursday. Bradley Wiggins continued Britain's cycling success, winning gold in the 4 km pursuit. Young swimmer David Davies, coming third in the men's 1500 m freestyle, set a European record in the process and won Britain's second swimming medal of the games – a notable improvement over the 2000 Sydney games from which the swimmers had returned empty-handed. Also on Saturday, it was announced that, after an appeal, Leslie Law would be promoted from silver to gold in the three-day equestrian eventing (and his team from bronze to silver). As the games' aquatic-dominated first week shifted into a second week focused more on track and field events, Kelly Sotherton came third in the heptathlon.
Sunday 22 August brought another rowing medal. However, marathon favourite Paula Radcliffe failed to cope with the heat of Athens and did not finish. The timing of the race with a late afternoon start, supposedly to appease US broadcasters, produced some controversy since summer marathons normally start early in the morning to avoid the heat.{{cite news|title=Marathon agony for Radcliffe|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics_2004/athletics/3589138.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=22 August 2004|access-date=25 April 2014}}
23 August saw Britain's first gold medal of the track and field events, Kelly Holmes winning the women's 800 metres. This was Britain's first gold medal on the track since Sally Gunnell won the 400-metre hurdles at the 1992 Barcelona games.
By claiming bronze in the Madison cycling on 25 August, to add to his earlier individual gold and a silver from the team pursuit, Bradley Wiggins became the first Briton for 40 years to claim three medals in one games.{{cite news|last=Fotheringham|first=William|title=Third medal for Wiggins the history man|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2004/aug/26/athensolympics2004.cycling|work=The Guardian|date=26 August 2004|access-date=25 April 2014}}
The evening of Saturday 28 August saw Britain's medal hunt centred on the Olympic Stadium. Steve Backley, in his final javelin throw competition, failed to win the gold he had been seeking since 1992, finishing fourth. Kelly Holmes achieved the middle-distance double, taking gold in the 1500 metres.{{cite news|title=Golden double for Holmes|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics_2004/athletics/3605460.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=28 August 2004|access-date=25 April 2014}} The men's 4×100-metre relay team won a surprising victory, winning gold ahead of the American team. Earlier in the day, Ian Wynne had added to the medal haul, with a bronze medal in the K1 kayak class, competing despite an ankle injury picked up the day before.
The final day of the games, 29 August, saw Amir Khan collect Britain's last medal of the event with a silver in boxing's lightweight division.
Overall performance
In the final medal table, Great Britain finished in 10th place overall. The BBC stated that this was "the best British performance in the modern era", and quantified this with further considerations: "GB won 37 in 1984, but that was a boycott-hit Games missing the Eastern Bloc countries. Take Los Angeles out of the picture, and this was Britain's best haul since 1924."{{cite news|last=Fordyce|first=Tom|title=Mission accomplished for Team GB?|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics_2004/3608158.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=29 August 2004|access-date=25 April 2014}}

Boxing
{{main article|Boxing at the 2004 Summer Olympics}}
Great Britain sent only one boxer to Athens, the 17-year-old Amir Khan. Khan tore through his first four fights, including two that the referees had to stop prematurely. His loss in the final to the defending Olympic champion and three-time world champion gave Khan a 4–1 record and a silver medal; many hoped he would compete the 2008 Summer Olympics but in the event he decided to turn professional later in 2004.

Equestrian

Because only three horse and rider pairs from each nation could advance beyond certain rounds in the individual events, five British pairs did not advance despite being placed sufficiently high. They received rankings below all pairs that did advance.

Media coverage
The main rights to Olympic coverage in the UK are held by the BBC, under the Ofcom Code on Sports and Other Listed and Designated Events. 2004 marked the first year that digital television and webcasts were used to cover an Olympic Games. The digital television service allowed up to five streamed channels covering the games, allowing more extensive coverage of minor sports, whilst the BBC's website permitted UK broadband users to view live streams from a variety of events, and other countries to view delayed highlights. Live broadcasts were run throughout the day, with a highlights program on BBC1 following the close of the day's events.
The BBC's coverage was anchored (at various times of the day) by Craig Doyle, Clare Balding, Suzi Perry, Sue Barker, Steve Rider, Hazel Irvine and Steve Cram. Expert analysts and commentators included Sharron Davies, Jonathan Edwards, Sally Gunnell, Michael Johnson, Colin Jackson, and Steve Redgrave.
Eurosport also ran coverage of the Games viewable in the UK – in accordance with the ITC Code, it can show live events, provided that such events can also be broadcast by the BBC (although the BBC can choose not to do so).
Radio coverage was provided by BBC Radio Five Live and IRN, and the events were also covered by the sports pages of the major newspapers.
