Florijn Wins Gold; Team GB Takes Bronze

Team GB claimed bronze in the mixed relay triathlon at the Paris Olympics after a dramatic photo finish initially had them believing they secured silver, only for the USA to be awarded second place upon review. Dutch rower Karolien Florijn captured gold in the women's single sculls, dethroning reigning champion Emma Twigg of New Zealand with a time of 7:17.28, adding to her family's legacy of Olympic golds. Lithuania's Viktorija Senkute took bronze, overcoming her epilepsy to achieve this feat. Additionally, Romania and Britain dominated the women's and men's eights rowing events, respectively.
