There were four more medals for Team GB to celebrate with silvers on the golf course and the shooting range.
Two bronzes also came in equestrian and gymnastics.
Shooting: Women’s Skeet
Shooter Amber Rutter earned a silver medal in the women’s skeet final, just three months after giving birth to her first child, Tommy.
The final went down to a shoot-off against Chile’s Francisca Crovetto Chadid, who ultimately clinched the gold medal, after both athletes hit 55 targets out of 60, one shot off an Olympic record.
The 26-year-old, who missed the Tokyo Olympics due to Covid, said: “Being part of the club of being an Olympic medallist and a mum at the same time, is something that feels so inspirational. I hope we can share the message to other mums that your life doesn’t stop after having a baby.”
Golf
Team GB’s Tommy Fleetwood held his nerve on the 18th green to secure a silver medal in the men’s golf.
The 33-year-old shot a five under par fourth round to finish on 18-under, one shot off world number one Scottie Scheffler who secured gold.
Fleetwood needed to chip up and down for par on the final hole to hold off Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama, who took bronze on 17-under.
He said: “I never dreamt I would be an Olympic medallist. Standing on that podium with a medal was one of the most amazing moments I’ve had as a golfer. I’ll remember that for the rest of my life.”
Equestrian: Individual Dressage
Charlotte Fry took her second bronze medal in Paris with a third place finish in the equestrian individual dressage.
She scored 88.971%, finishing behind German pair Jessica Von Bredow-Werndl and Isabell Werth.
Charlotte’s mother was Laura Fry, who represented Britain in equestrian at the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games, alongside Carl Hester who finished sixth at his seventh Olympics, with Becky Moody in eighth.
“I’m speechless,” Fry said. “It’s absolutely amazing. I’m so, so proud of Glamourdale. I 100% knew he was capable of it, but to be able to pull it off today and get the bronze, it’s just incredible.
“The support from the crowd was amazing. The prizegiving was just insane. That feeling going around with Jessica [Von Bredow-Werndl] and Isabell [Werth] too, idols and huge inspirations in our sport, it was just incredible.”
Gymnastics: Men’s Vault
Harry Hepworth delivered Team GB’s second artistic gymnastics medal of the Games with a bronze on the vault.
Hepworth’s score 14.949 saw him become the first British man to win a medal on the vault, as Carlos Yulo of the Philippines won his second gold of the Games.
The 20-year-old was also the first British man to reach the final of the rings, in which he finished seventh.
Team GB’s Jake Jarman placed fourth in the vault, while Becky Downie came seventh on the uneven bars.
Athletics
Keely Hodgkinson cruised into the women’s 800m final, winning her semi-final in a time of 1:56.86.
The silver medallist from Tokyo will go for gold tomorrow at 20:45 CET, but Jemma Reekie and Phoebe Gill did not qualify.
In the men’s 1500m, world champion and Tokyo bronze medallist Josh Kerr made it to the final with a comfortable second-place finish in his semi-final.
Kerr will be joined by Neil Gourley, who was third in his semi-final, while George Mills did not progress.
Dina Asher-Smith, Darryl Neita and Bianca Williams all qualified for the women’s 200m semi-finals. Asher-Smith made through in 22.28, Neita in 22.39 and Williams in 22.77.
Elizabeth Bird reached the women’s 3000m steeplechase final in 9:16.46, but Aimee Pratt did not progress after finishing 11th in her heat.
Jacob Fincham-Dukes qualified for the men’s long jump final, while Tade Ojora reached the men’s 110m hurdles semi-finals. In the women’s 400m hurdles, Lina Nielsen reached the semi-finals and Jessie Knight entered the repechage.
Louie Hinchliffe and Zharnel Hughes did not reach the men’s 100m final as they ran 9.97 and 10.01 respectively, with the final in Paris marking the first Games a time under 10 seconds was not enough to advance.
Around the Games
In the kayak cross, world champions Joe Clarke and Kimberley Woods both won their heats to qualify for tomorrow’s quarter-finals, as did Mallory Franklin. Adam Burgess did not progress.
There were no medals to be won in the sailing, but it was a productive day for Team GB as Ellie Aldridge is joint first after four races in the women’s kite.
Connor Bainbridge is well-placed in the men’s kite in fifth, as are sixth place John Gimson and Anna Burnet in the mixed multihull and Michael Beckett, who is fourth in the men’s dinghy. Meanwhile Hannah Snellgrove is 10th after eight races.
In the final night in the pool, Team GB finished fourth in the men’s 4x100m medley relay.
Cyclist Pfeiffer Georgi was the highest finisher for Team GB in the women’s road race as she came fifth. Lizzie Deignan and Anna Henderson were 12th and 13th respectively.
Elsewhere, Tom Hall was beaten 7-3 by Germany’s Florian Unruh in the archery men’s individual round of 16 to finish in ninth.
In hockey, Team GB lost 4-2 in a shootout to India in the men’s quarter-finals after drawing 1-1.
