Alex Yee began the medal flurry as he began his first ever Olympic medal, claiming silver in the men's triathlon. British swimmer Adam Peaty then made Olympic history by winning gold for the second time, before Tom Daley finally won his first Olympic gold alongside Matty Lee in the men's synchronised 10m platform. Tom Pidcock then capped off the day by winning gold in men's mountain bike cross-country cycling. He remains unbeaten over 100m at breaststroke for the last seven years – which include his gold medal at Rio 2016. Pidcock secured Team GB's third gold medal in a matter of hours after victory in the men's mountain bike cross-country event.
