Gold: Women’s quadruple sculls

The most dramatic gold of the Olympics may well have been Hannah Scott and Team GB’s quadruple sculls’ success as they took the title by just 0.15 seconds.

In a stunning race with the Netherlands, the quartet of Scott, Lauren Henry, Lola Anderson and Georgie Brayshaw trailed the Dutch crew with under 100m remaining.

However, they put in a stunning sprint to lead for the first time with one metre remaining to take a famous gold medal in a photo finish.

Scott and her team-mates could hardly believe what they had achieved and the images of the Coleraine rower dancing around the Eiffel Tower in the days following her medal will live long in the memory.

With her gold medal, Scott, 25, became the first woman from Northern Ireland to win an Olympic gold since Lady Mary Peters in 1972.
