WATCH: Coleraine celebrates as Hannah Scott wins the town's first ever gold medal at the Olympics
The people of Coleraine cheered on as Hannah Scott won the town’s first ever gold medal in a pulsating quadruple sculls race in Paris.
Scott, Lola Anderson, Georgie Brayshaw, and Lauren Henry made a cautious start before moving past Ukraine into second spot behind the Dutch.

Here’s how Coleraine reacted to their first ever Olympic gold champion.
