Follow's i's live blog from day seven of the Olympic Games in Paris
Britain won their first medal of day seven as Tom George and Ollie Wynne-Griffiths earned silver in the men’s pair rowing, with Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding picking up bronze in the men’s 3m synchro final before Emily Craig and Imogen Grant dominated the lightweight double sculls to earn a runaway gold three years on from heartbreak in Tokyo.
The Tokyo silver medallist, who revealed after Thursday’s heats that he was struggling with a back injury, hit the dirt around 75 metres into his second run and stayed down before receiving treatment.— Unbelievable scenes at the athletics. Six-time British champion Scott Lincoln has just hurled his rock for the last time: 19.69m is only good enough for 21st and he will not be coming back for the final. Czech Republic’s Tomas Stanek leads the field on 21.61m.He’s medalled in, and won, this event at every other major international meet, and the 29-year-old Brit finally has his Olympic silverware. What a moment.
– There are three British women in the 800m heats, and in fact Jemma Reekie went so quickly that she beat me back to my seat from the interview zone.Double European champion and twice Olympic silver medallist Keely Hodgkinson will go in heat four, but GB’s Phoebe Gill comes first.
