On a thrilling morning on day five of the Paris Olympics, Team GB claimed two gold medals in the space of 15 minutes. The wins came courtesy of triathlete Alex Yee and the women's quad scull rowing team, marking the team's fifth and sixth gold medals.
Yee, a 26-year-old Londoner, was initially behind New Zealander Hayden Wilde in the men's event. However, in a remarkable turn of events, he managed to overtake his competitor in the closing stages, securing a gold medal and surpassing his previous silver victory in Tokyo.
In a nail-biting final, the women's rowing crew of Lauren Henry, Hannah Scott, Lola Anderson and Georgie Brayshaw edged out the Netherlands in a photo finish. Despite being ahead for most of the race, a last-minute surge saw them claim gold.
In addition to the gold medal wins, Kieran Reilly added to Team GB's medal tally with a silver in the men's free BMX final. The day also featured bronze medals for Beth Potter in the women's triathlon and the diving duo of Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Lois Toulson.
