After their most successful opening week to a summer Olympics, Team GB showed no signs of slowing down on day eight.
The 10th British gold of Paris 2024 was won in the men’s rowing eights, lifting the team above the USA to fourth in the medal table.
The women’s eights won a hard-earned bronze, as the rowing team reached historic heights in the French capital.
GB’s equestrian team continued their impressive Games with a medal in the team dressage, although they missed out on the golden clean sweep.
There was also bronze for Emma Wilson in the windsurfing, though she was left disappointed by her performance in the delayed final.
Meanwhile, there were mixed fortunes on the track, as Louie Hinchliffe won his men’s 100m heat – but team-mate Jeremiah Azu was disqualified.
In the pool, Adam Peaty made his return following a positive Covid test as GB aim for medals in the relays as the swimming action approaches a conclusion.
Earlier in the archery, 16-year-old Brit Megan Havers – the youngest archer competing at the Olympics – was beaten by number one seed Lim Si-hyeon in the women’s individual competition.
Havers however did herself proud, as she became the first woman to win a point against Lim at these Games by tieing the first set.
“Finishing where I am and shooting how I have just has made me hungry for the next Olympics,” she said after her exit from Paris. “I can’t wait to see what four years brings for me.”
