Emma Finucane won bronze in the individual sprint to take her third medal of Paris 2024.

The 21-year-old, the reigning world champion in this event, needed only two races to beat Dutch rider Hetty van de Wouw in a best of three format.

Bronze sees Finucane become the first British woman to win three medals in a singles Games since swimmer Joyce Cooper earned a silver and two bronzes at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam.

Finucane was part of the British team sprint squad that won gold on Monday, and then followed it up with keirin bronze on Thursday.
