“To stand here and know we’re going home with a medal is the most incredible feeling,” three-time Olympian Chloe Magee said.

“We’ve battled through so many tough games. The first one we won will always stand to us, but this one feels amazing.”

After being handed a tough group, the Magees – also bronze medalists at the European Games in 2015 – advanced after beating Belarus yesterday.

Sam Magee said: “The pressure is on them as the top seeds and a world-class pair. We have to go and deliver the same quality of a performance.”
