Great Britain clinched Olympic mixed 4x400m relay bronze as Femke Bol anchored the Netherlands to a sensational gold at Paris 2024.

Amber Anning held on to third position as the British team finished in a national record of three minutes 08.01 seconds at the Stade de France.

However, she was passed on the home straight by Dutch star Bol, who produced a dramatic sprint finish to overhaul the British and then American teams for gold.

The Netherlands set a European record of 3:07.43 with Bol’s heroics, as the USA, who set a world record in qualifying, took silver in 3:07.74.
