- Tom Pidcock and eventing team pick up first GB golds
- Silvers in diving, swimming and canoeing
Britain’s athletes overcame all manner of adversity, from life-changing injuries to a tyre puncture and a Covid scare, to claim two golds in Paris and ensure God Save the King was heard at an Olympics for the first time since 1948.
There were also individual silver medals on the third day of the Games for Matt Richards, 21, who lost out on the top prize by a fingertip in the men’s 200m freestyle final, and 32-year-old Adam Burgess in the men’s singles canoe.
