Team GB added three medals to their tally at the Olympics in Paris with Helen Glover leading her rowing team to silver in the women's four.
Great Britain claimed three medals in rowing at the Olympics on Thursday morning, but Helen Glover just missed out on a gold medal hat-trick in Paris. Glover was denied a third Olympic title as Team GB were agonisingly edged out in a dramatic women's four final by Netherlands. Glover, a mother-of-three, won pairs gold at London 2012 and Rio 2016 before taking four years out of the sport ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, where she finished fourth in the women's pairs.
New Zealand eventually moved into pole position for gold to edge out Romania, but Wilde and Hodgkins Byrne staved off a late challenge from Netherlands to take bronze. It was quite an achievement for the pair to win medals as Wilde had surgery on her forearms 10 months ago and Hodgkins Byrne took time away from the sport after Tokyo 2020 to have her son Freddie, now two.
