Day Six Victory: Rowers Secure More Medals with Murray's Event on the Horizon.

Team GB didn't win the rowing gold they hoped for, but they added three more medals on Thursday, bringing their total to 20 at the Paris Olympics.

Team GB remains on track to surpass their Tokyo medal count, where they had 18 medals by day six.

Helen Glover, Esme Booth, Sam Redgrave, and Rebecca Shorten secured silver in a close women's four race, losing by just 0.18 seconds to the Netherlands.

Mathilda Hodgkins-Byrne and Becky Wilde won bronze in the women's double sculls, and Oli Wilkes, David Ambler, Matt Aldridge, and Freddie Davidson also took bronze in the men's four.

Andy Murray aims to reach the men's doubles semi-finals with Dan Evans, keeping his retirement at bay for another day.

Unfortunately, British 800m hopeful Jake Wightman has withdrawn from the Games due to a hamstring injury.
