Great Britain won their fifth equestrian medal of the Paris Olympics on day nine of the 2024 Games.
Lottie Fry, who has already helped GB win team dressage bronze, has followed that with another bronze in the individual event on Sunday.
The athletics heats continued, with Dina Asher-Smith bouncing back from her early exit in the women’s 100m to progress in the 200m.
GB shooter Amber Rutter has qualified for the women’s skeet final from 14:30 BST but there was disappointment for GB in the men’s hockey.
GB’s Tommy Fleetwood and Ireland’s Rory McIlroy remain in contention for a medal in the final round of the men’s golf.
Meanwhile, the scheduled swim training for Monday’s mixed team triathlon was cancelled for the second day in a row.
Fry claims first individual medal
Lottie Fry claimed her third Olympic medal after scoring 88.971% on Glamourdale to take bronze in the individual dressage.
Jessica von Bredow-Werndl successfully defended her title while fellow German Isabell Werth, competing at her seventh Games, took silver.
Fry, 28, made her debut in Tokyo three years ago, where she won a team bronze medal. A second team bronze came on Saturday alongside team-mates Carl Hester and Becky Moody.
Hester and Moody placed sixth and eighth, respectively, in Sunday’s individual final.
Dismay at hockey shootout exit
Great Britain’s wait for a first Olympic men’s hockey medal since 1988 continues after they were beaten by India in a tense shootout.
India had a player sent off in a chaotic quarter-final yet managed to take the lead shortly after, although Lee Morton soon levelled to make it 1-1 at half-time.
Despite being the dominant side in the final quarter, GB could not find a winner and India won 4-2 in the best-of-five shootout after Conor Williamson and Phil Roper were unable to convert.
GB’s women, who have medalled in the last three Games, have also reached the quarter-finals and they face reigning champions the Netherlands on Monday (16:30).
GB trio make women’s 200m semis
Great Britain’s Daryll Neita, Dina Asher-Smith and Bianca Williams reached the semi-finals of the women’s 200m after world champion Shericka Jackson withdrew.
Neita narrowly missed out on a medal in the 100m on Saturday and refocused to cruise to victory in her 200m heat.
Lina Nielsen progressed to the semi-finals of the women’s 400m hurdles while Jessie Knight has to race in the repechage (second-chance) round.
Tade Ojora did enough in the men’s 110m hurdles to go straight through to Wednesday’s semi-finals while Jacob Fincham-Dukes qualified for the men’s long jump final on Tuesday.
Lizzie Bird dug deep to make sure she finished in the first five of her women’s 3,000m steeplechase heat and booked her place in the final, which is also on Tuesday.
