The nation has secured eight medals at Paris 2024 so far after more success on the third day of action on Monday.

Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen clinched Britain’s first medal at the Games as they impressively landed a historic bronze in the women’s 3m Synchro event.

There was huge, late drama as Australia’s misplaced final dive saw the British pair sneak onto the podium and they were both left very emotional in their interviews.

The duo have become became the first British women in 64 years to win an Olympic diving medal, and the first ever in synchro competition.

Harper and Mew Jensen paid an emotional tribute to late Team GB coach David Jenkins afterwards, who died of sudden adult death syndrome aged 31 in 2021.

‘I said to Yas, all I was thinking about was him when we found out that we got a bronze,’ Mew Jensen told the BBC. ‘I know he would be so proud of us.

‘To split up and come back to it again and be Olympic medallists… I can’t explain it, and I wish he was here.’

Anna Henderson – silver

Anna Henderson was the next Briton to land a medal as she surprisingly took silver in the women’s individual time trial.

Making her Olympic debut, Henderson overcame tricky and rainy conditions to finish in 41 minutes and nine seconds for a result no-one was really predicting.

Following her impressive gusty ride, Henderson said: ‘I can’t believe it. I had a small feeling I might be able to reach the podium today, squeeze out some of the other riders, but I can’t believe I’ve come second. It’s unbelievable.

‘I burst into tears when I found out I was second. I can’t stop smiling, I’m over the moon.

‘I just focused on power in the straights and caution in the corners… I thought I could lose a whole Olympic Games there. I saw a lot of girls have problems today, so really happy I could hold it upright.’

Straight after Henderson’s silver, Josh Tarling looked to produce Team GB’s first gold medal in the men’s individual time trial, but he finished fourth due to a brutal front-wheel puncture.

Adam Peaty – silver

Adam Peaty came agonisingly close to adding another gold medal to his considerable collection on Sunday night. It wasn’t meant to be, missing out on first place by 0.02 seconds. Peaty tested positive for Covid the following day.

Kimberley Woods – bronze

Kimberley Woods scooped bronze in the women’s kayak singles. It was a perfect redemption story for the 28-year-old, who three summers ago in Tokyo incurred 56 seconds of penalties for a bottom finish in her maiden ­Olympic final.

Tom Daley and Noah Williams – silver
