Great Britain win mixed 4x400m relay bronze

Great Britain clinched Olympic mixed 4x400m relay bronze as Femke Bol anchored the Netherlands to a sensational gold at Paris 2024.

Amber Anning held on to third position as the British team finished in a national record of three minutes 08.01 seconds at the Stade de France.

However, she was passed on the home straight by Dutch star Bol, who produced a dramatic sprint finish to overhaul the British and then American teams for gold.

The Netherlands set a European record of 3:07.43 with Bol's heroics, as the USA, who set a world record in qualifying, took silver in 3:07.74.

Bol measured her effort to perfection, tracking the leaders before making her final push for gold as the crowd roared her on, one year after her late fall cost her nation the world mixed relay title in Budapest.

Alongside Olympic debutant Anning, Samuel Reardon, Laviai Nielsen, Alex Haydock-Wilson helped ensure GB followed up their 2023 world silver in the event.
