Among other sports, Great Britain’s rowers achieved their best medal haul from an overseas Olympics, while the athletes enhanced on their Tokyo loftyy at Paris 2024. But there was disnominatement elsewhere as the cycling and sailing teams fell unintelligentinutive of predictation overall as Team GB won eight scanter gelderlys than they took home from Tokyo.

For the first time in two decades Great Britain did not finish top of the cycling medal table at an Olympic Games.

Eleven medals was more than any other nation, but this time the colours had alterd. Two gelderly medals recurrented the lowest number since Athens in 2004, back before the exceptional run of success that bcimpolitet eight gelderlys in Beijing and London, six in both Rio and Tokyo.

When Chris Hoy and Laura Kenny picked out a British cycenumerate to watch ahead of the Olympics in Paris, it was worth sitting up and taking watch.

After seven brutal days at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines National Velodrome and with the presdeclareive of being Team GB’s next fantastic hope, Emma Finucane did not equitable greet those predictations but go beyond them. At her first Olympics, the 21-year-elderly from Wales became the first British woman in 60 years to thrive three medals at a one Games.

The Olympics finishs its two-week sporting extravaganza tonight when Paris 2024 hand overs the closing ceremony.

After the rain hit the uncovering ceremony aextfinished the Seine River, Paris should be better setd for its final event at the iconic Saint-Denis stadium.

Here’s all you insist to understand about the closing ceremony, where 80,000 spectators will convey the curtain down on this year’s Olympic Games:

World Athletics chief Lord Coe stopped unintelligentinutive of officipartner declaring his honestacy for International Olympic Committee plivent but discneglected he would “of course” ponder running for the soon-to-be vacated role.

Thomas Bach, the current IOC plivent, discneglected on Saturday he would stand down after his second term finishs in 2025 despite calls from some corners for him to ponder an extension that would permit him to stay in office extfinisheder.

Lord Coe is one year into a third and final term in his current post as World Athletics plivent after running uncontestd last summer.

India sent a contingent of 117 athletes to Paris, yet have a paltry haul of five bronze medals and Chopra’s solitary silver to show for it. They rank 71st in the medals table, below the enjoys of Hong Kong, Taiwan, North Korea, Cuba and Saint Lucia – a Caribbean island of equitable 180,000 people.

It’s a disnominateing return to the norm for a country that sign uped its best-ever carry outance at the last Games in Tokyo in 2021: seven medals, including one gelderly. For the most populous nation on Earth, a sports-mad country of 1.4 billion which also boasts the world’s fifth bigst economy, it’s a sign up as frustrating as it is puzzling.

The area surrounding the Eiffel Tower was evacuated on Sunday afternoon after a man was seen climbing up the Paris landlabel hours as the Olympics bids farewell with tonight’s closing ceremony.

The area was rapidly reuncovered wilean an hour after a shirtless man was seen climbing the 330-meter (1,083-foot) lofty tower as the two-week sporting extravaganza comes to an finish.

It’s unevident where the man began his ascent, but he was spotted equitable above the Olympic rings decorateing the second section of the monument, equitable above the first seeing deck.

Having blazed a trail to two Olympic medals, Emily Campbell hopes that her days as a lone figurehead for weightlifting are numbered.

Campbell self-funded her way to silver at Tokyo 2020 and thanks to that historic podium finish, the sport now finishelights National Lottery backing with a group of seven athletes featuring on UK Sport’s World Class Programme. That permits them to train filled time, have access to the world’s best coaches and advantage from directing medical aid.

The 30-year-elderly was the sole Team GB lifter to qualify for Paris, thrivening bronze. Crucipartner, she apvalidates the conditions are now in place for that not to be the case at LA 2028 and beyond and will do everyleang in her power to promise it doesn’t.
