KIERAN REILLY claimed silver for Great Britain in the men’s BMX Freestyle final at the Paris Olympics today.

Reilly, crowned world champion in Glasgow last summer, collapsed onto his knees after pouring everything he had left into his second run, with a score of 93.91 pushing him above French favourite Anthony Jeanjean but not enough to match the 94.82 achieved by Argentina’s Jose Torres Gil.

It was a dramatic final in which Australia’s defending champion Logan Martin crashed on both of his runs, while Jeanjean also crashed on his first, needing to risk it all to chase glory the second time around.
