Olympics: Tom Hiddleston stars in BBC film Olympian Jeanette Kwakye and Invictus Games medallist JJ Chalmers have been delivering commentary on the Paris Olympics this morning on BBC One. During the coverage, Team GB athletes Scarlett Mew Jensen and Yasmin Harper won a bronze medal for their three-metre synchronised diving springboard attempt. It's the first time in 20 years Team GB have won a medal on the first day of the Olympics.
However, their incredible achievement came after one of the Australian team's divers slipped during their routine. Reflecting on the victory for Team GB, BBC commentator JJ said: "It's the first time since Sydney that Great Britain have won a medal on the first day of the competition and in the most dramatic of circumstances right down to the final moment there.
