Olympics 2024: Alex Yee wins stunning triathlon gold as Great Britain women edge photo finish in the rowing

Britain's Alex Yee produces stunning comeback to win men's triathlon gold; Beth Potter clinches women's triathlon bronze; Team GB win women's quadruple sculls with incredible photo finish; Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Lois Toulson earn diving bronze

Alex Yee produced a stunning finish to claim a dramatic gold medal in the men's triathlon on Wednesday as Great Britain's women's quadruple sculls broke Dutch hearts at the line to win gold on the water.

Yee had looked destined to settle for silver as he fell behind Hayden Wilder during the 10km run, only to find an extra gear to conjure a remarkable finish down the stretch to leave the New Zealander in his wake.

The race had initially been due to take place on Tuesday before being postponed due to concerns over bacteria levels in the River Seine, with Olympic organisers clearing the way for both the men's and women's events to go ahead in the early hours of Wednesday following improved results in water testing.

Wilder, who won bronze in Tokyo, looked on course for gold as he made an early move, before being dealt a ruthless reminder of Yee's speed late in the final lap.

France's Leo Bergere also earned a spot on the podium as he claimed bronze shortly after compatriot Cassandre Beaugrand had won gold in the women's race.

"I still don't really know what to say to be honest, I'm a bit lost for words and so grateful," said Yee.

"At 5k I was going through a real bad patch and at 2.5k I thought - I'm going to give myself one last chance and not give up and here we are. I'm still a bit lost for words.
