Read our privacy policy Emily Craig and Imogen Grant won Olympic gold for Great Britain in the lightweight women’s double sculls at Paris 2024 after Ollie Wynne-Griffith and Tom George claimed silver in the men’s pair. Craig and Grant finished just 0.01 seconds off the podium and 0.5 seconds from gold in Tokyo three years ago, with the 31-year-old Grant keeping a picture of the photo finish on her living room wall as inspiration. That was something Wynne-Griffith and George had not been able to do as they led for the majority of the men’s pair race, only to be beaten in a frantic finish by Martin and Valent Sinkovic of Croatia, who won in a time of six minutes 23.66 seconds – less than half a second in front of the British pair. Wynne Griffith, who like George was part of the GB men’s eight crew that won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, blamed himself for getting it wrong at the finish.
