In 2024, the Olympic Games will return to Paris, France, for the third time. Exactly 100 years after the city last hosted the Games in 1924. This is also the first time that France will host the summer Paralympic Games.
“Team GB” aims to unite the nation through the power of Olympic sport, with British athletes at the center of this ambition. Their stories of extraordinary achievements unite the nation and inspire others to find theirs extraordinary. Athletes on this team will join other athletes from around the world to compete in 319 events in 32 sports.
ParalympicsGB are champions of change in a sporting revolution started by Sir Ludwig Guttmann at Stoke Mandeville Hospital more than 70 years ago. Today, ParalympicsGB is a world-leading sporting team, winning medals in a record-breaking range of sports to help unite and inspire the nation. The success of this team's athletes on the field of play can be harnessed to make real, sustainable change in the lives of all disabled people across the UK.

On the reverse of the coin we can see a neo-futuristic composition in which two athletes appear representing the Olympic and Paralympic Games, with the flag of the United Kingdom in the background, thus unifying the athletes. At the bottom the Eiffel Tower is shown, alluding to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and next to it, the initials of the Greek designer "CT" (Charis Tsevis).
