No British female Olympian has won three gold medals. The leading British female Olympians is track cyclist Victoria Pendleton who, from 2008-2012, won two gold medals and one silver medal. The female British Olympians with the most medals (four) are swimmer Rebecca Adlington who, from 2008-2012, won two gold and two bronze medals and rower Katherine Grainger who, from 2000-2012 won one gold and three silver medals. Other females winners of two gold medals include Edith Hannam, Kelly Holmes in addition to a bronze, Charlotte Dujardin, Laura Trott, Sarah Webb, Sarah Ayton and Shirley Robertson. All but the latter three and Pendleton won their two gold medals at the same games.

Robertson, Webb and Ayton, sailors all, won their gold medals in consecutive Games - Robertson being the first to achieve the feat - her second gold occurring in the same event, the 2004 Yngling class, as the other sailors' first.

Mary Rand won three medals, one of each colour, at the same Games in 1964 - to date, the only British woman to have done so.
