Manchester will be the stage where the nation can welcome back Olympic champions once the games are over. The National Lottery today announced plans for two national events following the Games, with one of them set to take place at the AO Arena.
The events are to thank National Lottery players whose funding helps support Team GB and Paralympics GB athletes. Since National Lottery funding started to support elite sport in 1997, Team GB has never fallen out of the top ten in the medal table, and was fourth in the 2020 Tokyo Games, winning a stunning 22 golds.
During the Tokyo Olympics, Adam Peaty won Team GB’s landmark 100th gold medal since National Lottery funding began, with 117 gold medals won in total so far.
The National Lottery’s Team GB Homecoming will take place on Saturday 17 August at the AO Arena.
