Team GB has won 65 medals at the end of the Olympics in Paris, beating their Tokyo total by one.
On the final day of the Games, Team GB scooped two more bronze medals.
A total of 15.8 penalties were incurred on the cross-country stage, making it tight at the top, but a clear round from McEwen, with one fence down from both Canter and Collett, was good enough to seal gold.
McEwen and Collett had been in the team that won gold in the same event at Tokyo 2020, along with Oliver Townend.
Tom Pidcock – Mountain biking (men’s cross-country)
The cyclist won gold hours after the equestrian team – and he did it in sensational fashion.
The 25-year-old fell nine places and 36 seconds behind leader, Frenchman Victor Koretzky, after his front tyre suffered a puncture, but produced a masterclass to claw his way back to the front.
In the final lap, Koretzky briefly retook first place, only for Pidcock to produce a daring overtake in the final moments before racing away to cross the line in first.
Nathan Hales – Shooting (men’s trap)
Chatham-born Hales didn’t only win Team GB’s third gold at Paris – he also set a new Olympic record.
The 28-year-old hit 48 of 50 targets in the trap final, compared with his nearest competitor’s 44.
Hales pumped his fist in the air and held his shotgun aloft as he was embraced by his coach.
