Finucane makes history with third medal in Paris

Track cycling sensation Emma Finucane made British Olympic history by winning individual sprint bronze for her third medal of the Paris Games.

Not since 1964, when Mary Rand won a medal of every colour in athletics, has a British woman taken a hat-trick of podium finishes at a single Games.

For 21-year-old Finucane, appearing at her maiden Olympics, her latest bronze follows the same colour in the keirin as well as a historic team sprint gold.

She comfortably defeated the Netherlands' Hetty van de Wouw over two legs in the bronze medal final to add an Olympic medal to her World Championship title in the event.
