Paris 2024 Olympics: Hodgkinson crowned new queen of British athletics


KEELY HODGKINSON became the new queen of British athletics by taking Olympic gold with a commanding performance in the women's 800m at the Stade de France.

The brilliant 22-year-old Leigh Harrier ran the race on her terms, hitting the front early on and setting the tempo throughout.

Heading into the final straight, Hodgkinson still had Kenyan world champion Mary Moraa for company - but kicked on to finish clear of her rivals and become only the ninth British female ever to win an Olympic athletics title.

That glorious moment arrived shortly after Team GB won its first gold medal in well over 48 hours as the British track cycling team started in the velodrome with a bang.

Remarkably, considering the fine reputation in Olympic cycling, Great Britain had never won the women's team sprint - and did not even make an entry in the event at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020+1.

However, the emergence of Emma Finucane changed everything - and the finest women's sprinter currently racing anchored a world record-breaking time of 45.186 seconds alongside Katy Marchant and Sophie Capewell.

It ended a sequence of three silver medals and nine bronze without a gold between Saturday afternoon and Monday afternoon.

But, despite that mini-drought in terms of gold medals, there were actually four Olympic champions for Team GB crowned in the preceding 24 hours between Friday and Saturday morning.

First, in rowing, Emily Craig and Imogen Grant dealt with the pressure of being overwhelming favourites ahead of the last ever staging of the lightweight double sculls event.

Any pressure did not show, though, as the partnership comfortably retained their three-year unbeaten record since the final in the same event at Tokyo 2020+1.

There, Craig and Grant agonisingly finished fourth - and outside of the medals by 0.01 seconds in a photo finish - but Craig then mounted that very photograph on her living room wall, and it clearly served as ample motivation.

Later on Friday, Bryony Page bounced her way to trampolining glory to become the first ever British woman to win a gymnastics gold medal in any discipline.

And Scott Brash, Harry Charles and Ben Maher were also jumping for joy - literally - after becoming Olympic champions in the team jumping element of equestrian on Hello Jefferson, Romeo 88 and Point Break.

Rounding off the rowing regatta on Saturday, Sholto Carnegie, Rory Gibbs, Morgan Bolding, Jacob Dawson, Charlie Elwes, Tom Digby, James Rudkin, Tom Ford, and cox Harry Brightmore overcame the Netherlands to regain the men's eight Olympic title for Team GB.

So, certainly, the rowing at National Olympic Nautical Stadium produced far more fruitful outcomes than the extremely disappointing performance by British boats in the sport in Tokyo 2020+1, where only one silver medal and one bronze medal were won.

On top of the three gold medals mentioned above and the two silver medals mentioned later in this write-up, British boats took bronze in the women's double sculls, men's coxless four, and women's eight.

Meanwhile, across the weekend, Great Britain continued to collect plenty of other medals across a number of sports, though particularly in those where there was water involved.

In the pool, Duncan Scott and Ben Proud took silver medals in the men's 50m freestyle and men's 200m individual medley respectively.

And Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding claimed bronze in the 3m springboard to ensure that Team GB won medals in all four synchronised diving events at the same Olympics for the first time ever.

Elsewhere, in the men's event at Le Golf National, there was a fine silver medal for Tommy Fleetwood as he carded a five-under 66 in his final round to finish just one shot shy of world number one Scottie Scheffler.

Additionally, equestrian brought in another couple of bronze medals through the efforts of Lottie Fry on her mount Glamourdalec in the team dressage alongside the experienced Carl Hester on Fame and Olympic first-timer Becky Moody on Jagerbomb.

Fry herself then also finished third for a bronze medal in the individual dressage competition.

Of course, it is the track-and-field programme which dominates the calendar in the second half of an Olympic Games - and, among the 41 athletics gold medals to be won in the Stade de France, the crowning of the fastest man on the planet is usually seen as the blue ribbon event.

That man is now Noah Lyles who beat Jamaica's Kishane Thompson by five-thousands of a second (0.005) to win the men's 100m Olympic gold medal in a truly incredible photo finish.

The 27-year-old American surged through from last to first in the second half of a sensational race in which all eight competitors broke the 10-second barrier for the first time in the history of the event.

In the end, 100m came down to millimetres - and was determined by a more desperate lunge for the line by Lyles than Thompson.

The women's 100m final was also pretty close - decided by 0.15 seconds as Julien Aldred of the Caribbean island of St Lucia beat American pair Sha'Carri Richardson and Melissa Jefferson to win her nation's first ever Olympic medal of any type.

Daryll Neita was fourth for Team GB, just four-hundredths of a second away from taking bronze - and it has certainly been an Olympic Games of fine margins for many British competitors.

Sometimes, it has worked out in Team GB's favour - for, that is something to which BMX rider Tom Pidcock, triathlete Alex Yee and the women's quadruple sculls team in rowing can attest.

But, in the triathlon mixed relay featuring Yee and his team-mates Sam Dickinson, Georgia Taylor and Beth Potter, a silver medal turned into bronze following another photo finish.

Back in the rowing, the Netherlands got their revenge for the their dramatic defeat in the quadruple sculls by beating Great Britain in the women's four with a similar comeback.

And that meant Helen Glover was unable to add a third gold medal to the two which she had won at London 2012 and Rio 2016 alongside Heather Stanning in the women's pair.

Similarly, Ollie Wynne-Griffith and Tom George had to settle for a silver medal in the men's pair after being caught on the line by Croatia.

In the gymnastics arena too, there have been some extremely tight calls with 22-year-old Jake Jarman taking a bronze medal in the men's floor final, having been just 0.067 points away from gold.

Jarman made a fine Olympic debut - and alongside another debutant, 20-year-old Harry Hepworth who took bronze in the vault final, British men's gymnastics looks in safe hands following the retirement of long-time standard bearer Max Whitlock.

Of course, in sports such as gymnastics and diving where the ultimate outcome is determined by a set of judges, experience can count for a lot and that is a hard lesson which will have been learned by 19-year-old Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix.

The daughter of First Dates maƮtre d' Fred Sirieux qualified for the final in third place - but a series of early errors in the final itself left her fruitlessly playing catch-up.

Then again, sometimes, the competition is simply too hot - and sometimes the whole event is simply too unpredictable.

Staged on white water rapids, Joe Clarke and Kimberley Woods entered the new Olympic discipline of kayak cross as world number one in the men's rankings and women's rankings respectively.

True to form, both Clarke and Woods reached the medal finals - but, in the men's event, Clarke found himself hampered at the start and took silver.

Then, in the women's event, Woods was crashed into when leading, though did at least collect a second bronze medal of the Games.

Finally, sometimes, the officials get it horribly wrong and there is nothing which can be done about it.

In a tense women's skeet shooting final, Amber Rutter was tied with Chile's Crovetto Chadid after making 55 shots out of 60, meaning extra shots were required.

The pair could not be separated after three further shots when, in a moment of contention, Rutter was called to have missed a shot which slow motion replays appeared to show she hit.

Despite protesting, there was no provision for a video review and the judges did not overturn the decision - and so Rutter was denied the chance to add to Britain's gold total after Chadid fired the winning shots.

Certainly then, it was a frustrating weekend at times for Team GB - but it is perhaps more of an indication of just how many medal opportunities are being created by this excellent squad.

Indeed, the overall Team GB tally of 42 medals at the close of Day 10 was better than it stood at that stage of the Games at London 2012 (40), Rio 2016 (41) and Tokyo 2020+1 (35).

And, while the number of gold medal winners at the end of 5 August was somewhat down on 2012 (18) and 2016 (12), the usually medal-rich track cycling events had been completed in both of those previous editions.

By contrast, this time, the action in the velodrome has only just begun - and form again suggests it will provide a regular source of medals.

Paris 2024 Olympics: Flurry of gold for Team GB

GREAT BRITAIN won two gold medals in an extraordinary 15 minutes on Day Five of the 2024 Summer Olympics to move up to fifth in the medal table. 

On the streets of Paris, Alex Yee fell 14 seconds behind New Zealand's Hayden Wilde in the men's triathlon as the bell rang out to signal the last lap in the 10km run.

It looked at that stage as if Yee would have to settle for a second successive Olympic silver medal in the men's individual competition - but the 26-year-old from Lewisham saved enough energy for a sprint finish.

With just a few corners to go, Yee strode past Wilde and towards a truly remarkable - and delayed - triumph.

Nevertheless, it was well worth the wait following a 24-hour postponement of the men's event being caused by the water quality in the River Seine not meeting the required standards for the swimming leg.

Now, if that was not enough drama for one morning, the Stade Nautique in Vaires-sur-Marne was the source of a second astonishing Team GB comeback, barely quarter of an hour after Yee crossed the line.

Trailing the Netherlands boat for all except the last few metres of the 2000m course in the women's quadruple sculls, the British boat was a half-length behind with just 200m to go.

However, as the race reached the red buoys marking the last 100m, the quartet of Lauren Henry, Lola Anderson, Georgina Brayshaw and Hannah Scott began their surge.

As the finish line approached, inside the last 5m, the boats were effectively level but making alternative strokes - and the contest concluded in a photo finish.

Incredibly, it showed the final British stroke towards the line was decisive - and confirmed a sixth gold for a Team GB squad which has won medals on every day of the Games so far.

The very first arrived before 11am on Day One as Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen won bronze in the women's 3m springboard diving.

Indeed, diving has again been a fruitful source of medals for Team GB at these Olympics with First Dates maƮtre d' Fred Sirieux watching on as his daughter Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix took bronze in the women's 10m platform alongside Lois Toulson.

Between the women's two synchronised medals, Tom Daley secured an emotional fifth medal in five Olympic appearances with a silver after a stunning performance alongside Noah Williams in the men's 10m platform.

Adam Peaty, Anna Henderson and Leam Lane's very own Kieran Reilly also all took silver medals in the men's 100m freestyle breaststroke swimming, the women's road time trial cycling and the men's BMX freestyle finals respectively.

Meanwhile, the award of the biggest prize has hardly been a rare occurrence.

Following an admittedly quiet opening weekend, the first gold medal was not long in coming, having been nicely set up by the three-day eventing team in the equestrian.

Rosalind Canter, Laura Collett and Tom McEwen carried it home to defend the team title on Lordship Graffalo, London 52 and JL Dublin - and, having helped break Team GB's duck, Collett later added a bronze in the individual event.

In the meantime, Tom Pidcock produced a comeback to rank alongside Yee in the triathlon and the women's quadruple sculls in the rowing.

Favourite Pidcock hit the front early on but then suffered a puncture on the fourth lap which appeared to have devastated his race as he resumed in ninth, 36 seconds down on French leader Victor Koretzky.

The 25-year-old from Leeds did not panic, reeling in his opponents one-by-one, and regaining the lead towards the start of the final lap of the 4.4km course.

Roared on by the home crowd, however, Koretzky overtook Pidcock - and so it all came down to the final few metres.

In a wooded section of the course, Pidcock snatched back the lead with just a few corners to go, smashing his way past Koretzky in a dramatic conclusion in which there was contact between the two bikes.

Later, Adam Burgess took silver in the men's canoeing slalom behind a pretty much perfect performance by France's Nicolas Gestin.

Then, on a medal-laden Day Three, Matt Richards also took silver in the men's 200m freestyle swimming despite starting from an outside lane following a poor semi final performance.

By contrast, on a quiet Day Four at the Olympics, there were only two medals - although both of them were gold.

First, in the mid-afternoon, Nathan Hales proved to be a really sharp-shooter by hitting 48 out of 50 targets in the men's trap shooting final to set a new Olympic record.

Then, in the evening in the swimming, the highly-fancied men's 4 x 200m freestyle relay team - James Guy, Tom Dean, Matt Richards, and Duncan Scott - dominated to become the first quartet of the same men to defend an Olympic title in the event.

Altogether, at the close of Day Five, Team GB had won six gold medals, six silver medals and five bronze for a total of 17 - and that compared favourably with the figures at the same stage of previous Games.

At London 2012, Great Britain had won two gold medals and nine in total - while, at Rio 2016, those tallies were three and 12 respectively.

Most recently, at Tokyo 2020+1, Team GB had won five gold medals and 16 in total by the end of Day Five - although different Games have slightly different sports and schedules.

For example, organisers pushed forward the Rugby Sevens in the hope that the decision of Les Bleus' usual XV captain Antoine Dupont to skip the Six Nations for the Olympics would pay off.

It was a huge all-round risk but it paid dividends as France beat Fiji in the men's final at a packed Stade de France to get their Games off to a flier, albeit a somewhat manufactured one.

Still, though, the swimming schedule is almost always in the first week with track-and-field athletics waiting until the second half of the jamboree - and, in the pool, the French have genuinely produced a new Olympic legend.

Leon Marchand followed up his breathtaking performance in the men's 400m individual medley on Day Two by winning both the 200m butterfly and 200m breaststroke in the space of 20 minutes on Day Five.

Elsewhere, the host nation has also won gold medals in canoeing, fencing and the women's triathlon event through Cassandre Beaugrand, as well as other medals in archery, equestrian and judo. 

France even briefly
sat top of the medal table after Marchand's performances - before Pan Zhanle broke the world record in men's 100m freestyle final to send China back to the summit. 

Nevertheless, both France and Great Britain can be extremely
satisfied with their efforts so far in these Games - and there is still plenty more to come.
