Great Britain win showjumping gold

Great Britain captured their first Olympic showjumping gold medal in 60 years, winning a dramatic jump-off against the Netherlands.
The two countries were tied on eight penalty points after the team competition, sending the event into a shoot-out over a shortened course. And while two Dutch riders faltered, Nick Skelton, Ben Maher and Peter Charles all went clear to snatch gold.
Overnight leaders Saudi Arabia took the bronze with a score of 14 points. It was Britain's first Olympic showjumping medal since 1984 and their first gold since the Helsinki 1952 Games. "I've waited 54 years for this so you can certainly say it was a long time coming," said Skelton, who was competing in his sixth Olympic Games.
