An Olympian with connections to Macclesfield has won a silver medal in Paris.

Ethan Vernon and his three teammates narrowly came second in the men's team pursuit just before 6pm on Wednesday.

A nailbiting final with Team GB only losing it at the last minute, saw the recent Macclesfield resident finish with a silver medal.

Ethan lived in Macclesfield when he came in seventh at Tokyo 2020, and now Ethan and his teammates has gone five step further this time around with a silver medal.

Well done Ethan!

Photos of Ethan with his medal can be seen on Instagram.

"Gutted but also proud of this Olympic Silver. Los Angeles 2028, we will be back," wrote Ethan on Instagram.
