Read our privacy policy Glorious golds for the likes of Keely Hodgkinson and Bryony Page put some shine on an otherwise disappointing Paris 2024 for Great Britain, who finished a lowly seventh in the medals table behind the likes of hosts France and the Netherlands. In a sailing event blighted by a persistent lack of wind, Ellie Aldridge stole the show by becoming the first female champion in the high-octane sport of kite-surfing, the Olympic regatta’s answer to the increasing urbanisation of the Games programme. There were plenty of reasons for the French public to celebrate, not least rugby union hero Antoine Dupont leading the hosts to gold in the men’s rugby sevens event, and judo icon Teddy Riner snaring his third career gold on the mat at the Champ de Mars. Lording it over the programme was the ubiquitous Snoop Dogg, clad in full riding kit for the dressage competition in Versailles, or declaring open the first and probably last Olympic breakdancing event, which for all of Raygun’s worst efforts, went down well.
