GB Secures Ninth Gold in Jumping
Great Britain won Olympic team jumping gold for the first time since 2012 with an impressive performance in Paris. The team of Maher, Charles, and Brash incurred only two penalties, topping the standings at Chateau de Versailles. This win propelled GB to third in the medal standings, tied with the United States, who took silver, and ahead of bronze-winning France.
Page Takes Trampolining Gold
Briony Page now has a complete set of Olympic medals, adding gold to her silver from Rio 2016 and bronze from Tokyo. She achieved this by surpassing Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya’s score in the final, who took silver, while Canada’s Sophiane Methot earned bronze.
Craig and Grant Redeem Tokyo Loss
Emily Craig and Imogen Grant, who narrowly missed a medal in Tokyo by 0.01 seconds, used that disappointment as motivation to win gold. They posted a photo of their Tokyo finish as a reminder, leading them to a dominant victory in Paris, adding to their world and European titles.
Heartbreak for Wynne-Griffith and George
Oliver Wynne-Griffith and Tom George were edged out of gold in the men’s pair event by Croatia’s Martin and Valent Sinkovic in the final meters. Despite leading most of the race, they settled for silver after a late surge by the Croatian team. Wynne-Griffith expressed his pride in their performance despite the narrow loss.
