​In pictures: A look back at how the Borders’ four Olympians got on in Paris now 2024’s games are over

​This year’s French Olympics now being over, here’s a review, in photos, of the memories to last a lifetime, as well as a gold medal, brought back by the region’s four representatives at the games – Scott Brash, Sarah Robertson, Lucy Hope and Lisa Thomson.

Peebles showjumper Brash, 38, brought back the Borders’ only medal of this year’s Olympic Games, a gold in the equestrian team jumping final alongside Ben Maher and Harry Charles on Friday, August 2.

He was hoping to add an individual medal to that the week after, going up against opposition including Maher and Charles, but came up short, finishing sixth.

Thomson, Robertson and Hope all missed out on medals in France.

Great Britain’s women’s rugby sevens team, featuring Thomson, 26, placed seventh at the end of July; the British women’s field hockey team including Robertson, 30, ended up eighth after losing their quarter-final against the Netherlands on Monday, August 5, by 3-1, though she did pass the 100-cap mark on her way there; and the women’s freestyle relay teams Hope, 27, was part of placed fifth over 200m and seventh over 200m at the end of July and start of August.
