After the shit, the show. On a day where crowds were at least 10-deep along the banks of the Seine, Cassandre Beaugrand delighted home fans with a thrilling victory in the women’s triathlon, while Beth Potter took bronze for Great Britain.
It was a gold medal made in Paris, where Beaugrand was born, but also honed in Loughborough where she trains. Afterwards she credited that move to England two years ago with helping her to cope with the wet conditions as she won in a time of 1hr 54min 55sec.
