Alex Yee summons enormous comeback to win Paris 2024 Olympic gold

A final lap of an Olympic Games that will be talked about for years to come. When Alex Yee (GBR) took the bell he found himself 15 seconds off leader Hayden Wilde (NZL) and was staring at a second successive Olympic silver. What came next was nothing short of extraordinary, as Wilde started to feel the heat and the Brit slowly reeled him in, passing just before the final turn to the blue carpet and taking the tape.

It was ecstasy for Yee, heartbreak for the New Zealander, while the crowd roared home Leo Bergere for a fine home-nation bronze.
