for the island nation of bermuda! a first olympic gold medal for them as florida duffy won the women s triathlon. the tropical storm that hit tokyo was no problem for her. they had a delayed start but once she got in and got through her swim and navigated the slippery roads on the bike around tokyo, she was the one who was able to pull clear on her10 km run to win olympic gold. such a good result for her. she has two world titles already. she had been a dominant force in the sport but she has been struggling with injury, she stepped away from the sport. she didn t quite know whether this olympic dream would happen for her. when she crossed the line and held her hands aloft and celebrated, you could see the joy and the relief etched on her face. meanwhile it has been a brilliant morning in the swimming pool as well. we had fourfinals, a great morning for great britain. tom dean winning gold in the men s 200 metres freestyle and his compatriot duncan scott
coming second, just a short margin behind him. duncan scott was the fastest man in the world this year going into the final but it was tom dean, with a look of complete shock afterwards, won gold. interestingly, he caught covid twice in the build up to this and he was wondering how it would affect him as he struggled physically at times with it. a great morning for him. then two really good results in the women s. kaylee mckeown from australia, she set an olympic record as she won the 100 metres backstroke and then what a story! the 17 year old from alaska, lydia jacoby, she was the surprise winner in the women s100 metres breaststroke, that is the first time that a swimmer from alaska has won olympic gold. let s cross to the bbc sports centre and speak to chethan pa rthak. welcome. a bit of a shock for osaka.
