Team GB Takes Home First two Medals and Sets Olympic Record at Paris Olympics 2024


Team GB had a stellar start at the Tokyo Olympics, achieving their best first day results since 1980. The team secured two medals on the first day, with Anna Henderson winning a silver in women’s time trial cycling and Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen taking bronze in women’s synchronised 3m springboard. Laura Collett set an Olympic record in eventing dressage, while Adam Peaty comfortably qualified for the men’s 100m breaststroke final. Despite these successes, the rest of the team faced disappointment, with both the men’s and women’s 4x100m freestyle relay teams missing out on podium positions.

Meanwhile, controversies also emerged beyond the stadium. FIFA deducted six points from Canada in the Olympics women’s football due to spying activities by two assistant coaches, and the International Olympic Committee apologized after mistakenly introducing South Korean athletes as North Koreans during the opening ceremony. The French interior ministry raised concerns about foreign involvement in the sabotage of the country’s rail network.

Italian Olympian Gianmarco Tamberi also faced a personal loss, as he lost his wedding ring during the opening ceremony. Despite these challenges, Team GB remains optimistic about their prospects in the ongoing Olympic Games.
