Your personal top 3 Team GB highlights from Paris 2024

[G-ann 113]

As it says in the title, top 3 highlights from the games that’ll stick with you until LA 2028. Doesn’t have to be gold medal related, but does need to be Team GB!

 

I’ll kick off with mine: 

 

1. Toby Roberts realising he won Gold

2. Fred Sirieix consoling Andrea (Insta Reel)

“It wasn’t meant to be today” has me in bits every time

3. GB women’s hockey getting a goal in against the Dutch in the QFs. Because wow did it silence a very smug orange crowd…!

1. Alex Yee’s heroic kick off in the last seconds of the Triathlon to take the Gold.

 

2. Bryony Page’s reaction to winning the Gold.

 

3. Thorpe and Shortman taking the Silver in the Artistic Swimming. A really lovely backstory and I think it must be so hard being the pioneer in your sport in the country. They have nobody to look to but themselves and I hope it will inspire lots of people to give it a go. 
 

Honourable mentions: Pidcock’s comeback in the Men’s BMX and Roberts realising he’d won Gold.

1) Alex Yee - My favourite Team GB gold of the games. Thinking he was out of it, them cutting away from the action and then as soon as they cut back he was right behind Wilde. Amazing.

 

2) Toby Roberts - I love anytime we get gold in a new sport, shows we are a jack of all trades team and don’t just rely on one or two sports to soak up all the medals. *coughjudoandwrestlingcough* 

 

3) Andy Murray, enough said. I got a new found respect for Dan Evans these games.
