GB end Paris 2024 with 65 medals to top Tokyo total

Emily Campbell and Emma Finucane won two bronze medals for Team GB on the final day of Olympic action in Paris.

It takes Great Britain’s total medal tally to 65 – one better than Tokyo three years ago and the same total as London 2012.

Campbell sealed bronze in the women’s +81kg weightlifting, while Finucane completed her impressive debut appearance at the Olympics with bronze in the women’s individual sprint.

There was disappointment, however, for Jack Carlin in the velodrome as the Briton crashed in the last lap of the men’s keirin final.

The Netherlands’ Sifan Hassan also won her third medal in Paris, with gold in the women’s marathon in a dramatic sprint finish.

The end of the Games will be marked with the the traditional closing ceremony and handover to the next hosts, Los Angeles.

Who are Team GB’s medal winners at Paris 2024?

Finucane ‘on top of the world’ with bronze as Carlin crashes out

It’s been an impressive first Olympic Games for Emma Finucane.

The 21-year-old world champion is the first British female to win a hat-trick of medals at a single Olympics in 60 years.

Her latest bronze medal in the individual sprint, follows her winning of the same colour in the keirin as well as a historic team sprint gold.

“I feel on top of the world. This whole week has been a rollercoaster for me, so many high and so many lows. That bronze medal felt like a gold medal to me,” Finucane told BBC Radio 5 Live.

Carlin, however, was unable to add to his two medals – a silver in the men’s team sprint and bronze in the individual sprint.

The 27-year-old was one of three riders taken out in a nasty crash on the final bend.

Campbell wins bronze with red, white and blue hair

Campbell collected her bronze in style with red, white and blue weaved through her trademark buns, with the Olympic rings weaved through her hair at the back.

“It took a good three hours yesterday. All the media has been speaking about is my hair, so I had to come out with a showstopper,” she said afterwards.

The 30-year-old put forward a personal best performance, lifting 126kg in the snatch and 162kg in the clean and jerk to add bronze to the silver medal she won in Tokyo three years ago.

She added: “The standard was so high and I had to pull it out of the bag. In Tokyo I was new to the sport and enjoying things, it was a bonus medal.

“This one come from the heart, we have had a tough one building-up, but we pulled it out at the right time. It was a PB performance, so you cannot complain.

Hassan wins marathon for third gold in Paris

Hassan has completed a remarkable distance-running treble.

By winning gold in the women’s marathon, she adds to the bronze she won two days earlier in the 10,000m and six days after securing the same medal in the 5,000m.

Hassan had initially signed up for the Olympic 1500m as well before deciding three events was enough.

“I have no words. Every moment in the race I was regretting that I ran the 5,000m and 10,000m. I was telling myself if I hadn’t done that, I would feel great today,” Hassan said after her marathon win.

“From the beginning to the end, it was so hard. Every step of the way. I was thinking, ‘Why did I do that? What is wrong with me?’ If I hadn’t done it, I would feel so comfortable here.”

The 31-year-old only made her debut at the distance in April 2023 when she was a surprise winner of the London Marathon.

Paris gears up for closing ceremony

After 329 gold-medal moments, a spectacular Paris 2024 Games will come to an end with the traditional closing ceremony.

Athletes will take to the Olympic stage in the French capital for one last time after more than two weeks of action-packed sport.

Alex Yee, who won a stunning gold in the men’s triathlon before claiming bronze in the mixed event, and Bryony Page, the new Olympic individual trampolining champion, will be the flagbearers for Team GB.

California-based music acts Billie Eilish, H.E.R, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snoop Dogg will perform as part of the the official handover to 2028 hosts Los Angeles.

The ceremony, scheduled to start at 20:00 BST and finish at 22:30, will be live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app from 19:00.
