Team GB events Saturday 20th August

Usain Bolt completed his historic ‘triple triple’ last night as Usain helped Jamaica win gold in the 4x100m relay after already winning the 100m and 200m individual titles, matching London 2012 and Beijing 2008.

For Team GB, Nick Skelton won gold in the show jumping yesterday. He is the oldest Team GB Olympic champion in 108 years and he has never before won an individual Olympic medal, with this Olympics being his seventh.

Team GB women won gold yesterday after nail biting penalty shootout. After normal time, it was 3-3 against the Netherlands, but Team GB’s goal keeper saved the day and secured the gold medal. The Netherlands were the defending champions, but Team GB powered through to win their first Olympic Hockey gold medal.
