Tokyo Olympics latest news! Day 14 latest Team UK updates and results
Tokyo Olympics latest news: For anyone watching the Olympics, today is a big day. Team GB has already won 51 medals – 16 gold and 18 silver so far – but they’re looking to add more on this track with another win in the 400m hurdles or maybe even an 800 meter race.
Summary: Today could be double trouble for Great Britain’s Olympic team as they go up against world-class athletes from Australia (400M Hurdles) and Kenya (800 Meter). The country of 50 million only boasts 26 medalists at these games so it will take some serious effort if not outright luck to see them overtake their competitor countries by any significant margin before closing ceremonies next week
There are two big hopes on the track as Laura Muir and Dina Asher-Smith go for medals in their respective events. For British fans, there is a lot of hope that both will make it to the podium after recent disappointments. After failing to qualify from semi finals in 100m competition, Dina has withdrawn her entry from 200m due injury troubles which had been plaguing her this season leading up through Olympics trials last month
Elsewhere, Tom Daley – who already has a gold medal to celebrate in Tokyo – is back in the pool (well, on the diving board and then in the pool) in the 10m individual platform prelims, while Lauren Price is guaranteed a boxing bronze but is aiming for more when she competes in the women’s middleweight semi-finals.
In a day of upsets, the Olympic final had its fair share. In an intense matchup between Sweden’s Sara Bergevi and Norway’s Kristin Skogum Olafsen, it was Skogum who shined brightest at yesterday’s showpiece event carrying silverware home to Oslo in her hand luggage after out-dueling Bergevi for the title on this historic occasion for women’s hockey with gold medalists USA third
