Paris Olympics: Peaty, Asher-Smith, Laugher – top five stories from day seven at Games

There is no stopping the Team GB medal train at Paris 2024, as they rose to third in the overall table on a golden day seven.

Three golds – from five medals overall on Friday – mean just China and the USA are ahead of the British team in the standings.

The water proved a happy hunting ground for the British team earlier in the day, with three medals across rowing and diving.

Emily Craig and Imogen Grant won gold in the women’s lightweight double sculls, while men’s pair Ollie Wynne-Griffith and Tom George claimed silver after being pipped on the line by Croatia.

Divers Anthony Harding and Jack Laugher added to the tally with bronze in the men’s 3m synchro springboard final.

GB have finished on the podium in all four diving events so far in Paris, sealing that team’s best ever showing at an Olympics.

The trampoline was the next stage for success, as Bryony Page stormed to gold.

As was the equestrian arena, where GB held their nerve in the final round to win the team jumping final.

Great Britain now have 25 medals in total – nine golds, eight silvers and eight bronzes.

Elsewhere, there were worrying scenes at La Defense Arena where Slovakian swimmer Tamara Potocka had an asthma attack and collapsed after her 200m medley heat.

She was taken from the arena on a stretcher after immediate medical treatment, and BBC Sport has been told the 21-year-old is conscious, communicative and has been receiving oxygen.

Also at the pool, Great Britain’s Adam Peaty did not take part in the mixed 4x100m medley relay heats, after testing positive for Covid-19 earlier in the week.

Even without six-time Olympic medallist Peaty, Team GB qualified for the medley final – an event in which they are defending champions.

Peaty could still come in for the final on Saturday evening.
