Olympic24: Medal double for Patrick Huston at archery Europeans

It was a busy day of Olympic sport with European medals in archery and gymnastics, while Andy Murray is hitting form at the French Open and Katarina Johnson-Thompson secures the Olympic qualifying standard. Here’s our review of the last 24 hours:

Patrick Huston secured a medal double at archery’s European Championships in Nottingham.

Huston secured recurve bronze and then joined forces with Larry Godfrey and Kieran Slater to take silver in the team event, narrowly losing out to Russia in a gold medal shoot-off.

“It feels amazing,” said Huston. “My form is still not quite where I want it but I knew everyone was behind me and it’s a brilliant feeling. A first senior European medal is a big pat on the back for me.”

Nile Wilson hopes he can repeat his landmark European title in Rio as he continued preparation for the Olympic Games by becoming the first Team GB male to win the high bar title.

Wilson, the last to complete his routine in Bern, scored 15.300 points to overtake team-mate Kristian Thomas, who scored silver with 15.000 points.

And 20-year-old Wilson said: “That feeling is just incredible.

“You train your whole life for moments like that standing on the top of podium singing the national anthem with a gold medal.

Former world champion Liam Phillips has reset his sights on Rio after a disappointing BMW World Championships in Colombia.

Phillips exited in the semi-finals, the same stage that Olympic champion Maris Strombergs and London 2012 silver medallist Sam Willoughby crashed out.

“I’m looking forward to getting home and doing some good work, building towards the big one in Rio,” he said.

Andy Murray moved into the last eight of the French Open with an impressive straight sets victory over John Isner in a game interrupted by the weather.

The Scot has made the semi-finals in Paris in each of the last two years, and battled past the giant Isner in a 7-6, 6-4, 6-3 win.

Murray will face Frenchman Richard Gasquet in the quarter-finals after he saw off Japan's Kei Nishikori in four sets.
