Team Great Britain won two gold medals and sporting superstars Andy Murray and Simone Biles triumphed on day four at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The swimming quartet of James Guy, Tom Dean, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott retained their men’s 4x200m freestyle title, adding to Nathan Hales’ men’s shooting trap final gold earlier in the day for Team GB.
Murray once again saved multiple match points – and his career – alongside men’s doubles partner Dan Evans as the British pair beat Belgium’s Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen 6-3 6-7 (8-10) 11-9 in a dramatic contest.
American Biles inspired the United States to victory in the women’s team gymnastics event and her first gold medal since Rio 2016 after pulling out of several events at Tokyo 2020 three years ago with the ‘twisties’ – a disorientating mental block.
Her success came on the day a heatwave hit Paris – and there was also disruption to the triathlon events.
