Paris 2024 Olympics RECAP: Gender row boxer Lin Yu-ting WINS featherweight gold with dominant victory - after medals pour in for Team GB in athletics and swimming

We are going to bring our live blog to a close here from a packed penultimate day of the Olympics in Paris.

Team GB have earned artistic swimming and taekwondo silver, as well as bronze medals in diving and three on the track today.

We will be back on Sunday for the final day of the Olympics, with the Closing Ceremony in the evening bringing the Games to a close.

Goodbye for now!

We can look back now to a brilliant bronze medal for Britain's Georgia Bell in the women's 1,500m earlier this evening.

The 30-year-old had been out of athletics for five years until she ran the 5k fun run at London’s Bushy Park in 2022.

That prompted Bell to start taking the sport seriously again and she got her rewards here in Paris, smashing the British record with a time of 3min 52.61sec, ahead of fifth-placed Laura Muir.

‘I don’t know if I’ve ever been this happy,’ said Bell.

‘I was off the track for five years but Parkrun is such a good thing for anyone. I am so happy I came back to this sport.

‘When I took up running again, the goal wasn’t to make the Olympics, that would have been absolutely bonkers. But I have showed it’s never too late to go back to something you enjoy.’

More then on gender row boxer Lin Yu-Ting winning gold in the women's featherweight event earlier tonight.

Lin fell to her knees as her opponent graciously congratulated her on winning gold by a unanimous points decision.

Whereas Yu-Ting's previous two opponents had made the 'X' sign with their index fingers, Szeremeta chose to make a heart shape to the crowd from the ring.

Yu-Ting bowed repeatedly to the spectators and thanked them, pointing to her heart.
