Rowers Emily Craig and Imogen Grant secured Great Britain’s seventh gold of the Paris Games after a dominant win in the women’s lightweight double sculls.
Craig and Grant – unbeaten in this event since an agonising fourth-placed finish in Tokyo three years ago – triumphed in a time of 6:47.06, over a second ahead of Romania (6:48.78) with Greece (6:49.28) in third.
Fellow rowers Ollie Wynne-Griffith and Tom George claimed silver for Great Britain in the men’s pairs, while divers Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding took bronze in the men’s 3m synchro.
Wynne-Griffith and George – part of the GB men’s eight that won bronze in Tokyo in 2021 – were pipped late on by Croatian brothers Valent and Martin Sinkovic having led for almost the entire race.
Team GB finished less than half a second behind Croatia’s winning time of 6:23.66 with Switzerland taking the bronze.
Laugher, meanwhile, secured the fourth Olympic diving medal of his career as his and Harding’s score of 438.15 was good enough for third, behind China (446.10) and Mexico (444.03).
Laugher had won gold in the 3m synchro in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 with Chris Mears, as well as individual medals in the individual 3m springboard in Rio (silver) and then in Tokyo (bronze).
Britain have now won four diving medals in Paris, with Scarlett Mew Jensen and Yasmin Harper starting the success when they took bronze in the women’s 3m synchro springboard on the opening day.
Tom Daley and Noah Williams claimed silver in the men’s 10m synchro platform, with Andrea Spendolini-Sireiex and Louis Toulson then bagging bronze in the women’s event.
