Sir Steve Redgrave's Olympics Breakfast Briefing

Daily Mail

Video: Olympics Breakfast Briefing with SIR STEVE REDGRAVE: Tommy Fleetwood is just one shot off the lead, Lizzie Deignan is set to make history - and Louie Hinchcliffe looks to spring a major shock in men's 100m Mail Sport and the National Lottery bring you another exclusive video update from Britain's Greatest Olympian Sir Steve Redgrave. He details what Team GB athletes will be aiming for today.  Reports of Team GB's rowing demise were greatly exaggerated, while there were medals aplenty for the squad across the board on day eight in Paris.   After failing to win a single rowing gold medal at the Toyo Olympics, the British team emphatically bounced back and earned a record tally at an overseas Games. The men's and women's eight earned gold and bronze respectively to see Team GB finish with three rowing golds, two silvers and three bronzes.   Elsewhere, Team GB added an additional four medals to the overall tally to take their haul up to 33 at the halfway point of the Games.    Following the excitement of day eight, Sir Steve Redgrave looked ahead to the drama that awaits on the ninth day, with potential medal opportunities in golf, dressage, swimming, cycling and even in the 100m.   Britain's Tommy Fleetwood is only one shot off the leader Jon Rahm going into the final round, which gets underway on Sunday morning.
