    The Olympics has reached its final day with Team GB adding more medals to conclude a successful Paris 2024 .

    Emma Finucane won her third medal of the Olympics, adding bronze in the women’s sprint on Sunday to gold in the women’s team sprint and bronze in the women’s keirin. Finucane defeated Hetty van de Wouw in the bronze medal final , but there was disappointment for Jack Carlin as he crashed out of the men’s keirin final on the last day of action at the Velodrome.

    Emily Campbell won bronze in the women’s weightlifting final , adding to the historic silver medal she claimed in Tokyo three years ago. Campbell’s bronze was Great Britain’s 65th medal of the Games, which took them above their total from Tokyo.

    Earlier, Sifan Hassan prevailed in a race for the ages thanks to a vicious kick after more than 26 miles to fend off world record holder Tigst Assefa and win gold in the women’s marathon .

    The final medal of the games comes in the women’s basketball with USA looking to win and take top spot in the medal table as they go up against hosts France.
