How Jelly Babies and tea contributed to Team GB glory at Tokyo Olympics
Jelly Babies and tea have been credited with helping Team GB to glory at the Tokyo Olympics.
Boxes of sweets were shipped over to Japan as part of a "home-from-home strategy" provided by support staff, with Jelly Babies acting as a favourite snack amongst athletes.
Many stars ate them after competition, as the sugar provides an instant energy boost after physical exertion.
A massive 40,000 tea bags were also provided for Great Britain's competitors, who ended the Games with 65 medals, equaling their record from London 2012.
