After 16 days of competition and 339 events, the Tokyo Olympics have officially ended. Tokyo has come out of the Games with a record-breaking 27 gold medal wins and a total of 58 medals overall.

It's the most gold – and the most medals in total – that Japan has ever won at a single Olympic Games. The country's previous record for gold was set at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and equalled at Athens in 2004, with just 16 gold medals. Meanwhile, Japan's previous best medal total was 41 at Rio de Janeiro in 2016. We're hoping that upward trend continues in Paris in 2024.

This year, Japan also had a record number of 582 athletes participating in the Games. Since the first day, the country has had a number of memorable wins that will live on in the history books, including Japan’s first medals in the new sports introduced this year – skateboarding, surfing, karate and sport climbing.

Here's the full breakdown of Japan's medal wins. By the close of competition on August 8Japan won a total of 58 medals:

27 gold
14 silver
17 bronze
