Great Britain climed to third in the Olympics medal table after Scott Brash, Ben Maher and Harry Charles earned a brilliant gold in the men’s team jumping final.
Briony Page won gold in the women’s trampoline final shortly after Emily Craig and Imogen Grant continued their unbeaten streak by easing to victory in the lightweight double sculls.
There was a silver for Tom George and Ollie Wynne-Griffith in the men’s event while it was bronze for Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding in the 3m synchronised diving.
GB win ninth gold in jumping
Great Britain won Olympic team jumping gold for the first time since London 2012 with a near-faultless performance in Paris.
The British trio of Maher, Charles and Brash picked up just two penalties to top the standings at the stunning Chateau de Versailles.
It takes GB to third in the medal standings, level with United States, who took silver, and above bronze winners France.
Page wins trampolining gold
Page now has an Olympic medal of every colour after adding a gold to her silver at Rio 2016 and bronze in Tokyo.
The two-time champion knew she had to beat Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya’s score in the final, with a look of disbelief when the scores were confirmed.
Bardzilouskaya got the silver medal with Canada’s Sophiane Methot collecting bronze.
Rio 2016: 🥈
Tokyo 2020: 🥉
Paris 2024: 🥇Congratulations Team GB Olympic champion Bryony Page!

Craig and Grant banish Tokyo heartbreak
GB duo Grant and Craig missed out on a medal at Tokyo by 0.01 seconds but they have used that heartbreak to their advantage ever since.
The pair pinned up a photo of that photo finish three years ago as motivation and now have a gold medal to add to their back-to-back world and European triumphs.
Little of the drama of Tokyo was on show here, as the British pair comfortably stormed to victory.
Redemption for Emily Craig & Imogen Grant!
The pair just missed out on an Olympic medal in 2021, and since that race they have gone on an unbeaten run, not losing a single race together.
And today they avenged Tokyo, with gold in Paris🥇👏#PARIS2024PIC.TWITTER.COM/BN0ADHNXNU

Agony for Wynne-Griffith and George
There was no such joy for men’s pair Oliver Wynne-Griffith and Tom George who were dramatically pipped to gold late on.
Welsh rower Wynne-Griffith and George of England led for the majority of the race after a brilliant showing but fell victim to a late surge by Croatia’s defending champions Martin and Valent Sinkovic in the final 20 metres.
A disappointed Wynne-Griffith said: “I made a mistake on the line and that’s racing for you,” he said. “Olympic silver medallists, I’m so proud of what we did.
“We had a great start and a great first 1500m, just on the last four strokes it was a case of winning or losing unfortunately.”
