Last Wednesday, Team G.B. won five more medals including two golds.
The first gold came courtesy of Triathlon athlete Alex Yee who pulled off a brilliant victory after being over 100 yards behind New Zealand leader and subsequent silver medallist Hayden Wylde with barely a quarter-of-a-mile remaining.
And gold medal number 2 was won in magnificent style by GB’s four female rowers in the quadruple skulls race. They won with the very last stroke – which is said to be the shortest winning distance ever recorded in this event. Well done Hannah Scott, Lola Anderson, Georgie Brayshaw and Lauren Henry.
Also GB’s Beth Potter gained a bronze in the women’s triathlon… Kieran Reilly won silver in the B.M.X. freestayles final and Andrea Spendolini-Siriex and Lois Toulson doubled up to win silver in the women’s 100 metres synchronised diving.
Elsewhere… French super-swimmer Leon Marchand created history in front of a wild home crowd with a golden double in the pool, while American Katie Ledecky won a record-equalling eighth Olympic gold medal on an epic night of swimming in Paris.
