Tokyo Olympics: Mills and McIntyre secure GB's 14th gold medal

MORE MEDALS

Team GB sailors strike gold again as Hannah Mills and Eilidh McIntyre secured Britain's 14th gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday morning after finishing first in the women's 470 class. https://twitter.com/BBCSport/status/1422816457516331010?s=20 In doing so, Mills achieved the incredible feat of becoming Britain's most successful Olympic sailor ever, with two gold medals and a silver to her name throughout her career. Poland took the silver medal in this event, while France had to settle for third on points, crossing the line just after Mills and McIntyre. https://twitter.com/TeamGB/status/1422814468161998849 Team GB has dominated the sailing all tournament and throughout history, as no nation has ever won more Olympic medals in the sport. This is our event. Moreover, this is their fourth Olympic sailing gold in just 48 hours, with Team GB well and truly on course to beat or at least equal their medal tally in Rio and, who knows, maybe even London 2012?
