Tokyo Olympics: How many medals did your region win?

Bolton-born Jason Kenny and wife Laura, from Harlow, have won a total of 12 Olympic cycling gold medals

​​With the Tokyo Olympics now over, Team GB headed home from the Games with a fourth-placed finish in the international medals tables.

But if England's nine regions had been competing between themselves, who would have come out on top?

Team GB's athletes born in England accounted for three quarters (288) of this year's 376-strong team.

At the end of the competition, 87 of these Olympians came out of at least one event with a place on the podium.

Which area had the most medallists?

Out of England's nine regions, London saw the most medallists in Tokyo, with 17 athletes out of the 52 who went to Tokyo.

Drilling down into counties and city regions, Outer London specifically was where the most medallists were born, with 10.

These included Enfield-born equestrians Ben Maher and Charlotte Dujardin, as well as fellow equestrian Carl Hester, modern pentathlete Joseph Choong, rowers Henry Fieldman and Mohamed Sbihi, and Susannah Townsend from the bronze medal-winning women's hockey team.

Sprinters Dina Asher-Smith, Asha Philip and CJ Ujah completed the list after helping their respective women's and men's 4 x 100m relay teams on to the podium.

Not far behind on eight was Greater Manchester, with Bury swimmer and double gold medallist James Guy, triathlete Georgia Taylor-Brown, BMX cyclist Charlotte Worthington, sailor Stuart Bithell, rower Josh Bugajski, cyclists Jason Kenny and Matt Walls, as well as 800m runner Keely Hodgkinson.

On seven medallists was Inner London, with Hammersmith-born sailor Dylan Fletcher, triathlete Alex Yee, sprinters Daryll Neita, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake and Imani-Lara Lansiquot, cyclist Ethan Hayter and BMX cyclist Kye Whyte.

Meanwhile, on five medallists each were:

• West Yorkshire, with Huddersfield equestrian Oliver Townend, diver Matty Lee, triathletes Jonny Brownlee and Jess Learmonth, and mountain biker Tom Pidcock

• Berkshire, with Maidenhead-born double gold medallist Tom Dean, gymnast Amelie Morgan, rower Jack Beaumont and canoeist Mallory Franklin

Four of West Yorkshire's five athletes were born in Leeds, making it the single town or city with the most medallists in the country.

This was closely followed by Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, the birthplace of equestrians Tom McEwen and Laura Collett, and rower Tom George, and Maidenhead in Berkshire, where Dean, Beaumont and hockey player Ellie Rayer were born.

Which region won the most medals?

In terms of gold medal wins, the North West finished the Olympics in the top spot, with an impressive eight.

In overall awards too the North West edged ahead of the rest with 22 medals, aided in part by the heroics of multi-medallists Kenny, Guy, Walls, Taylor-Brown and swimmer Luke Greenbank.

Which region had the most athletes at the Games?

The 288-strong English contingent of Team GB came from all over the nation, but the region fielding the most athletes at Tokyo was London, at 52.

Looking at individual sports, the majority of England's nine regions had at least one sport where they put forward the most competitors:

• London led the way in athletics, with 15 out of 62 English Olympians born there, but also in divers (five out of 11), equestrian (three out of eight), weightlifters (two out of four), and was also the birthplace of the only English fencer.

• The West Midlands was the birthplace of the most boxers (three out of nine) and judo (three out of four).

• The North East meanwhile had the most footballers (four out of 15).

• Yorkshire and the Humber had the most triathlon competitors (two out of five).

The East Midlands did not have a majority of athletes born there in any sport, but was tied on several, including golf, swimming and table tennis.
