Olympics 2024: Noah Williams snatches bronze for Team GB in men’s 10m platform diving final | Olympics News

Britain’s Noah Williams snatched a bronze medal in the men’s 10m platform final on the penultimate day of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The 24-year-old produced a brilliant comeback to challenge for a podium place towards the end of the competition.

Williams was fourth going into the fourth round, but some over-rotation caused him to drop down to fifth.

However, he delivered a brilliant response with scores of 93.60 and 94.35 on his final two dives to claim the bronze.

Williams’ team-mate Kyle Kothari had to settle for an 11th-placed finish.

Jokic leads Serbia to Olympic bronze

Nikola Jokic grabbed the fifth triple-double in Olympic history as Serbia beat Germany 93-83 to win the men’s basketball bronze medal.

Jokic finished with 19 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists to help Serbia claim their first medal since winning silver in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Serbia bounced back after nearly upsetting four-time defending gold medallists USA in the semi-finals.

Jokic joined Sasha Belov of the former Soviet Union, the United States’ LeBron James (twice) and Slovenia’s Luka Doncic as the only players with Olympic triple-doubles.

Paris go muffin crazy for Christiansen

The Norwegian swimmer who has gone viral for his obsession with the chocolate muffins in the Olympic village is still mulling over how he might capitalise on his new-found fame.

Henrik Christiansen, better known as ‘muffin man’, is still flabbergasted by the degree to which his social media following has exploded over the course of these Games, ever since he started documenting his love for the “11 out of 10” sweet treats in Paris.

Four of his TikToks have attracted more than 10 million views – the most popular video nearing nearly twice that at 17.8 million.

Christiansen, 27, said: “I think three weeks ago I had 3,000 followers on TikTok, now I’m at almost half a million. So it’s been unreal. You never really think it’s going to happen. You see other people blowing up like that and then you think it’s never going to happen to you, but here I am.

“I think as professional athletes we are definitely in the entertainment industry, so we kind of need to produce content by doing the sport and also being on social media. We need to produce content that other people want to watch.

“That’s how we can make money, so if I’m now able to earn more money from doing my sport and being able to continue doing that for longer, I would love that. I still have to see yet. Currently I haven’t dived too much into it, but hopefully I can make a little bit by doing it.”
