Georgia Bell Shines as Team GB Secures Three Bronze Medals on Final Night of Paris 2024 Athletics

Georgia Bell delivered a breathtaking performance in the 1500m final, securing a bronze medal with a British record time of 3 minutes 52.61 seconds on her Olympic debut. The 30-year-old's achievement was a remarkable comeback after quitting athletics in 2017, showcasing her extraordinary resilience and talent. Faith Kipyegon of Kenya won the gold, marking her third successive Olympic title.

The excitement continued for Great Britain with both the men’s and women’s 4x400m relay teams clinching bronze medals, completing a medal in every relay event at the Paris 2024 Games. The men’s quartet, comprising Alex Haydock-Wilson, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Lewis Davey, and Charlie Dobson, set a European record with a time of 2:55.83. They finished behind the United States and Botswana.

Just 10 minutes later, the women’s 4x400m team—Victoria Ohuruogu, Laviai Nielsen, Nicole Yeargin, and Amber Anning—achieved a British record of 3:19.72, securing another bronze. The USA took gold, with the Netherlands finishing ahead of GB, anchored by Femke Bol’s impressive final leg.

These performances took Team GB's total medal haul at the Stade de France to 10, doubling their athletics medal count from Tokyo 2020. The women’s marathon is the final event on Sunday, adding to the anticipation of further success.

This impressive tally marks Great Britain’s highest athletics medal count at an Olympics in 40 years, matching their 16 medals at the Los Angeles 1984 Games. With five relay podium finishes—including women’s 4x100m silver, men’s 4x100m bronze, and mixed 4x400m bronze—Team GB has demonstrated exceptional strength across the board.
