Team GB rowers win gold in women’s quadruple sculls after men finish fourth

Great Britain’s rowers won Olympic gold in a dramatic end to the women’s quadruple sculls after a photo finish with the Netherlands.

The Dutch led from the front and were half a boat length clear with 200m to go in Marseilles before an astonishing push from GB pipped them at the line.

The GB quartet of Lauren Henry, Lola Anderson, Hannah Scott and Georgina Brayshaw won in six minutes and 16.31 seconds, with the Netherlands 0.015 seconds behind them.

Germany claimed bronze while defending champions China finished sixth.

After a disappointing campaign in Tokyo without any golds, the triumph signifies the start of a hopeful return to form for GB’s rowers.

Earlier, Team GB’s men finished fourth in the same event with the Netherlands successfully defending their title from Tokyo.

Tom Barras was the only remaining rower from the GB team that won silver in 2021, with Callum Dixon, Matthew Haywood and Graeme Thomas completing the quartet that finished almost two seconds behind Poland in third, with Italy claiming silver.
