Emma Finucane Makes Olympic History with Three Medals

Emma Finucane made history at the Paris 2024 Olympics by becoming the first British woman in 60 years to win three medals at a single Games, securing gold in the team sprint and bronzes in both the keirin and individual sprint. The 21-year-old sprinter expressed her disbelief at her achievements, describing them as 'a dream' and reflecting on the emotional rollercoaster of the Olympic week. Finucane's performance has drawn comparisons to Mary Rand, who accomplished a similar feat in 1964. Despite her success, Team GB's overall cycling performance was underwhelming, finishing with only one gold medal. Finucane's achievements have positioned her as a rising star in British cycling, with expectations of further successes in her career. Her teammate, Katy Marchant, praised her for inspiring others and highlighted the beginning of a remarkable journey for Finucane.
