Paris Olympics: Top five moments from Day 14 of the 2024 Games – climber Roberts, relay medals, Johnson-Thompson

Great Britain’s women’s team won Olympic silver in the 4x100m relay before the men’s team claimed bronze in two thrilling races at a rain-soaked Stade de France.

Dina Asher-Smith, Imani Lansiquot, Amy Hunt and Daryll Neita had two tricky changes of end, but Neita was superb on the final leg.

She almost passed 100m silver medallist Sha’Carri Richardson in the final straight, but the American crossed the line first.

Zharnel Hughes then shone for the men on the final leg, running a superb final few metres to secure a medal for the quartet of Hughes, Jeremiah Azu, Louie Hinchliffe and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake.

The British team took advantage of the disqualification of the United States – deprived of 100m champion Noah Lyles, affected by Covid-19 – for a faulty first change of ends.

Earlier on Friday, with pre-Games medal favourite Jake Wightman absent with a hamstring injury, it looked as though Team GB would be without a representative in the men’s 800m final after Ben Pattison and Elliot Giles failed to qualify.

However, Max Burgin, competing in the final semi-final, ran a personal best of one minute 43.50 seconds to finish third and move into the next two fastest.
