It has been another fantastic day for Team GB at the Olympics, as we sweep another four medals with high hopes for more in the athletics later tonight.
Spectacular performances were put on in shooting, gymnastics, equestrian and golf taking Britain’s medal total to 37 – just behind Australia, France, the USA and China.
Tommy Fleetwood secured a silver medal for Team GB in the men’s golf event after being narrowly beaten by USA’s Scottie Scheffler in a final-hole thriller.
Fleetwood, 33, was level with Scheffler with just two holes remaining but uncharacteristically misjudged a chip onto the 17th green to end up with a bogey.
While in Amber Rutter missed out on Olympic gold in skeet shooting in controversial circumstances following a dramatic shoot-out in Chateauroux.
Despite this she said it was a ‘dream’ to come away with an Olympic silver medal, as she celebrated with her husband and three-month-old baby.
Harry Hepworth became the first-ever British male to win a medal in the men’s vault – when he took bronze this afternoon while team-mate Jake Jarman, the reigning world and European vault champion, finished fourth.
Hepworth got off to a brilliant start and a strong second vault helped him fly into first with a score of 14.949, he then faced an agonising wait to see if he would be kicked off the podium.
Great Britain continue to dominate equestrian, as Lottie Fry produced a brilliant ride in the individual freestyle dressage on Glamourdale, winning a bronze medal.
There is a chance Team GB could add even more medals to their already impressive tally later, with British hopes in the men’s 100m semi-final, women’s 800m semi-final and men’s 1500m semi-final.

Amber Rutter proudly left with a silver medal after the 26-year-old produced a composed performance to tie the Chilean and force a shoot-out for gold at the National Shooting Centre.
In her final attempt, Rutter looked to have hit both targets but only one was scored and she promptly appealed for a review.
The decision was then upheld despite TV replays appearing to show that she had made contact with both shots.
VAR technology has previously been employed in other skeet competitions in the event of a contentious decision but the technology is not in place for the 2024 games and Rutter was forced to watch on as her chance at gold hung in the balance.
Chadid ultimately held her nerve, hitting both targets to triumph 7-6 in the shootout, securing Chile’s first ever shooting medal at the games in the process.
The decision not to score both of Rutter’s hits in the final stage of the shoot-out proved hugely controversial on social media, with fans claiming she had been ‘robbed’ of the gold medal.

Team GB’s Harry Hepworth took bronze in the men’s vault final, while team-mate Jake Jarman finished fourth.
Hepworth got off to a brilliant start and a strong second vault helped him fly into first with a score of 14.949.
Jarman followed, scoring highly on his first vault with three-and-a-half twists and his second attempt saw him post 14.933 overall to sit just behind Hepworth.
Carlos Edriel Yulo of the Philippines then claimed top spot at the halfway mark.
After a nervous wait, the British duo’s places were confirmed, with Hepworth finishing third on Olympic debut.
Jarman just slipped out of the podium places following a strong finale from Armenia’s Artur Davtyan.
Tommy Fleetwood has secured a silver medal for Team GB in the men’s golf event at the Paris Olympics after being narrowly beaten by USA’s Scottie Scheffler in a final-hole thriller.
The American world number one posted a clubhouse lead of -19 and had to wait anxiously as the Brit completed his round.
Fleetwood, 33, was level with Scheffler with just two holes remaining but uncharacteristically misjudged a chip onto the 17th green to end up with a bogey.
The Brit needed a birdie heading into the final hole but an overhit approach shot left him with a long putt and he had to settle for par and second place.
The medal at the Golf National goes alongside two Ryder Cup winners medals and seven Tour wins as the Englishman’s career continues to go from strength to strength.
Despite a memorable medal, Fleetwood looked to the sky in anguish as the players walked off the 18th green knowing that an Olympic gold had been in reach just minutes before.

Team GB have claimed another Olympic medal in dressage as Lottie Fry produced a brilliant ride in the individual freestyle on Glamourdale on Sunday
Team GB have claimed another Olympic medal in dressage as Lottie Fry produced a brilliant ride in the individual freestyle on Glamourdale on Sunday.
Her ride collects a medal in the event that Charlotte Dujardin would have been amongst the favourites to take gold in prior to her withdrawing from the Games in shocking circumstances.
Footage had emerged of Dujardin whipping a horse in training four years ago that prompted fierce scrutiny of the sport, with demands from some quarters for it to be banned from the Olympics.
Meanwhile, Fry held off a nervy final wait to have her bronze medal confirmed with Denmark’s Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour the last competitor to ride in the event, but only managing fifth place.
On-board Glamourdale, Fry scored 88.971% to finish third in the event, with Germany’s Jessica von Bredow-Werndl awarded gold and team-mate Isabell Werth, silver.
