When London hosts the Olympic Games in 2012 they will become the first city to officially stage the event for the third time. Athens would also share this honour but for the fact that the 1902 Athens Intercalated Olympic Games are not counted as an official event.! Great Britain only won 3 gold medals at the 1948 London Olympics and finished 12th in the medal tables. In total team GB won 23 medals. Subtract the Gold medals and put the numbers together and you get 2012.
