Posted on

Great Britain's Tom Pidcock recovered from a mid-race puncture to win the Men's Olympic Mountain biking gold at Elancourt Hill near Paris.
Home rider Victor Koretzky was second and South Africa's Alan Hatherly third.
Elsewhere on Day Three, Britain won the Eventing Team gold, but Germany claimed the individual honours through Michael Jung. There was French gold won by Nicolas Gestin in the Men's Canoe Slalom and David Popovici became the first Romanian man to ever win a Swimming gold, coming first in the Men's 200m Freestyle.
