Team GB is off to an incredible start at the Paris Olympics, marking their best opening in over a century. As the Games head into day seven, they’re poised to build on their impressive performance.
On Thursday, Team GB reached a significant milestone by hitting their 20th medal with standout performances in rowing.
The women’s rowing four, the women’s double sculls, and the men’s four all contributed to this total.
Although no gold medals were won on Thursday, the team is determined to change that with a packed schedule on Friday.
Friday is brimming with opportunities, as 23 gold medals will be contested, and Team GB has a shot at nine of them. Sir Steve Redgrave, our legendary Olympian, has shared insights on the day’s exciting lineup during this morning’s Olympics Breakfast Briefing.
Emily Craig and Imogen Grant will be competing in the women’s lightweight double sculls final after their impressive semi-final win.
Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding will also be in action, diving into the men’s 3m synchronized springboard final at 10:00 am.
The athletics events kick off with Patrick Dever in the men’s 10,000m final.
Throughout the afternoon, fans will also watch Dina Asher-Smith, Keely Hodgkinson, and Josh Kerr as they aim to add to Team GB’s medal count.
In swimming, Duncan Scott will race in the men’s 200m medley final at 7:43 pm, having outperformed Leon Marchand in the qualifiers.
The trampoline competition begins as well, with Bryony Page aiming to add to her collection of medals from Rio and Tokyo.
Emma Wilson will compete in the women’s windsurfing final, and Ian Barrows and Hans Henken will chase medals in the men’s skiff final at 12:13 pm.
A Nod to the Past
Mail Sport and The National Lottery have partnered to bring daily exclusive video content from Sir Steve Redgrave, who is regarded as one of Britain’s greatest Olympians.
Sir Steve’s illustrious career includes five gold medals, with his iconic win in Atlanta in 1996 being a defining moment for Team GB, which then had just one gold.
Today’s success is a testament to the impact of National Lottery funding, which has transformed British athletics. Thanks to the support from National Lottery players, Team GB has become a formidable force, winning 22 golds and 64 medals at the Tokyo Olympics.
Final Thoughts
As Team GB continues to shine, the spotlight is on the athletes to make the most of their opportunities. With Sir Steve’s encouragement and the team’s determination, the day promises to be one of thrilling competition and potential triumphs.
