| British Olympic team gold medal winners Rebbeca Adlington (front R), Ben Ainslie (rear R) and Chris Hoy arrive on August 25, 2008 at London's Heathrow airport from Beijing. Britain's most successful Olympic team for 100 years arrived home after winning 47 medals in Beijing but team bosses warned that the coaches behind the medal haul could be poached by other nations. Britain's collection of 19 gold medals lifted it to fourth in the medals table and raised expectations of home success at the 2012 Olympics in London. [Agencies] |
