Brits 'screaming at TV' as Team GB win two gold medals from absolutely nowhere in the space of 30 minutes

London 2012 had Super Saturday, now it's time for Wonderful Wednesday as Team GB celebrate two incredible wins at the 2024 Paris Olympics within minutes of each other.

Back in the London Games, Team GB won three golds in 45 minutes after Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis-Hill, and Greg Rutherford all came up trumps in their respective disciplines.

The day went down in history as Super Saturday given the incredible success in such a short timeframe at their home Games.

Now fast-forward 12 years and we're experiencing one of the closest things to that incredible feat after Team GB secured two golds in half an hour at the Paris Games.

In the men's triathlon event, Team GB's Alex Yee secured a gold medal at the death after almost one hour and 45 minutes of swimming, cycling, and finally running.

The triathlon had been postponed due to the River Seine being too dirty to swim in, with it being moved to today (31 July) and taking place after the women's event.

The race went ahead with bacteria levels in the river 'much lower' than on Tuesday.

Yee, from London, was the favourite going in to the race, but on the final lap of the 10 kilometre running segment, he found himself in comfortably in second place behind New Zealand's Hayden Wilde.

With a 14 second lead on Yee, the victory looked secured for the Kiwi until he found a sudden burst of pace.

And within seconds, he surged by Wilde on the very final stage of the lap to cross the line first on the Pont Alexandre III bridge.

Yee and Wilde then sat together on the floor after crossing the line, Wilde with his arm around Yee as the two competitors shared a private moment.

Fans erupted on social media, with one writing: "The moment of the Olympics for me. GB’s Yee just sprinted past NZ’s Wilde in the final stretch to steal the gold away from him and Wilde has his arm around him.

"I can’t cope. Sport is amazing!"

The incredible moment for Team GB continued minutes later in the women’s quadruple sculls rowing event.

Team GB's Hannah Scott, Lola Anderson, Georgie Brayshaw, and Lauren Henry secured the gold medal from out of nowhere after pipping the Netherlands at the finish line - and we're talking by centimetres.

The 2023 world champions produced a storming finish in the final 250 metres – and a photo-finish was declared as the two boats crossed the line.

But it was the British crew who were punching the air with the margin of victory given as 0.15 seconds.

Scott told the BBC: “It’s been a long time in the making and I still can’t quite believe it. I don’t know if I’m emotional yet but that will come. I think we were so process-driven today and the immensity of what this is, it hasn’t caught up with me.

“The crew today were amazing. We kept it so cool to the end. We had the confidence, we’ve done so many hard miles in training and for anyone out there just go for it. If you think you can, you might just do it one day, and that’s the really cool thing about the Olympics.”

🤯 Great Britain have won gold with the very last stroke!!

One fan wrote on X: "It's Wonderful Wednesday for Team GB at Paris 2024. Alex Yee wins the men's triathlon, then minutes later the women's sculls quad claim rowing gold. What a day."

Another said they were 'screaming at their TV' after a screen grab of the photo show showed just how close the victory was.

The two golds follow on from a bronze for Team GB's Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, who secured the medal this morning while dad Fred Sirieix cheered her on from the stands.

And with the women’s canoe slalom singles final to come later today, the day could get even better through Mallory Franklin who'd won silver in the Tokyo Games.
