Olympics LIVE: Duncan Scott lands silver behind phenomenal Leon Marchand after Keely Hodgkinson stars on track

French swimming superstar Leon Marchand secured his fourth gold medal of a remarkable Olympics at a febrile La Defense Arena as Paris 2024 continued to thrill.

Day seven of the Olympics had already brought a medal-laden day for Team GB to continue Great Britain’s excellent start to the Games, but it was a couple of French sporting heroes in the spotlight later as Marchand and judo king Teddy Riner captivated the crowds in the French capital.

Duncan Scott secured silver behind Marchand to win an eighth Olympic medal, drawing him level with Bradley Wiggins and behind only Jason Kenny in terms of overall tally among British Olympians. Ben Proud joined his teammate on the second step of the podium, missing out narrowly on gold in the 50 metres freestyle.

It was a succesful day for British athletes right across Paris. Emily Craig and Imogen Grant won rowing gold with a dominant performance in the women’s double sculls, moments after Oliver Wynne-Griffith and Thomas George claimed silver in the men’s pair, before Bryony Page – who had won silver and bronze at the previous two Games – finally completed her Olympic set by bouncing to an emotional gold .

Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding successfully made it four medals out of four in the diving for Team GB, while Scott Brash, Ben Maher and Harry Charles secured a surprise equestrian gold in the team showjumping to continue a medal-laden day. On the opening day of the athletics, meanwhile, track stars Dina Asher-Smith , Keely Hodgkinson and Josh Kerr safely made it through their heats .
