Team GB rowers have won bronze in the men’s eight at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
In a high-octane race, Great Britain were denied a higher spot on the podium after New Zealand claimed gold and Germany narrowly pipped them to silver.<\/p>\n
It is Britain’s second medal of the Tokyo Olympics rowing regatta after a silver in the men’s quadruple sculls on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
A little earlier, there was disappointment for Team GB’s Vicky Thornley, who agonisingly missed out on a medal in the women’s single sculls at the Sea Forest Waterway.<\/p>\n
She lost out on bronze to Austria’s Magdalena Lobnig – and had been bidding for a second Olympic medal after winning double sculls silver alongside Dame Katherine Grainger in Rio five years ago.<\/p>\n
