The British team won a total of 37 medals, including five golds, this was Britain's largest total medal haul since1920, and would not be surpassed until2008, however this was due in part to theSoviet-ledboycott of the 1984 Olympics, which meant thatEastern Bloc competitors were not present. Great Britain sent a reserve team to the Soviet organisedFriendship Games, dubbed the "alternative Olympics" the same year.
