Team GB has finally claimed their first gold medal at the Paris Olympics 2024.

The gold medal was won in the Equestrian team eventing competition on Monday (July 29) afternoon at the Château de Versailles.

Laura Collett, Tom McEwen and Ros Canter enjoyed a perfect opening day, chalking up record low scores for the dressage phase both as a group and for Collett individually.

A total of 15.8 penalties incurred on Saturday’s cross-country stage had made it tight at the top with second-placed France, but a clear round from McEwen, with one fence down from both Canter and Collett was good enough to seal gold.

Just a short while ago, Tom Daley and Noah Williams secured Team GB’s second diving medal of the Paris Olympics with a silver in the men’s 10m synchronised event.

After placing joint-second with Canada in the opening rounds, a strong third dive extended Great Britain’s lead and they consistently finished second in the remaining rounds.

How many Olympic medals does Tom Daley have?

Silver completes the collection for Daley, who has three bronzes and one gold, and it is a first Olympic medal for Williams.

The pair continued a successful spell in the pool for the Team GB diving squad after Scarlett Mew Jensen and Yasmin Harper took bronze on Saturday in the women’s 3m synchronised springboard event.

After a strong set of opening dives, nothing could separate Great Britain and Canada in the first two rounds, with both teams tied on 105.00, but a brilliant third dive from Daley and Williams saw them gain a 4.8 point advantage over the Canadians.

Daley and Williams secured their silver in the final round, scoring 93.24 on their hardest dive of the competition, a forward four-and-a-half somersault.

They finished with 463.44 points overall, 26.91 points behind China who stormed to gold in style, finishing with a score of 103.23 on their final dive, while Canada took bronze.
