Duncan Scott wins silver in 200m medley as China’s Wang Shun grabs Olympic gold

  • Briton makes late surge but cannot take Olympic title
  • Luke Greenbank wins bronze in 200m backstroke

Duncan Scott won Great Britain’s sixth swimming medal of the Games, and the fifth of his own Olympic career, when he finished second behind China’s Wang Shun in the 200m individual medley. It means Scott, 24, is now Britain’s most successful Olympic swimmer since the Edwardian era, and he still has two relay events to go. A few minutes before Scott’s final, his great friend Luke Greenbank won a bronze in the 200m breaststroke, behind Russia’s Evgenty Rylov, who set an Olympic record of 1min 53.27sec.
