Day seven of Tokyo 2020 has seen more medals for Team GB in a glittering slate of early action.
Beth Shriever and Kye Whyte made BMX history as they delivered gold and silver at the Ariake Urban Sports Park. Moments after Whyte won Britain’s first medal in the event since its introduction to the Olympic programme in 2008, taking silver, Shriever led almost from start to finish to claim a superb gold in the women’s race.
Duncan Scott added a third medal of the Games with silver in the 200m individual medley with Luke Greenbank a bronze medallist in the 200m backstroke. A disappointing rowing regatta ended on a high note with bronze in the men’s eight before Bryony Page bounced her way to a bronze in the trampoline.
There was far more disappointing news for Britain’s footballers, however, with Australia emerging victorious in a see-saw quarter-final after extra-time with Ellen White’s hat-trick ultimately proving not enough.
The athletics began today with world champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Rio gold medalist Elaine Thompson, as well as Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith all progressing in the heats of the 100m. Ethiopia’s Selemon Barega won the first track and field gold medal of the Games with victory in the men’s 10,000m.
