Gold for GB showjumpers

Skelton, Maher, Brash and Charles end 60-year wait

 

Great Britain's showjumpers ended their 60-year wait for an Olympic gold medal by winning the team event at Greenwich Park.
The quartet of Nick Skelton, Ben Maher, Scott Brash and Peter Charles came out on top in a jump off with the Netherlands.
Skelton, Maher and Charles all put in clear rounds on Big Star, Tripple X and Vindicat respectively to secure the victory as Maikel van der Vleuten and Marc Houtzager both failed to go clear for the Dutch.
