Great Britain’s eventing team won gold after producing a dominant display in the showjumping finale at Tokyo Equestrian Park on day 10 of the Olympics.

The trio of Oliver Townend, Laura Collett and Tom McEwen led by 17.9 penalties following their outstanding cross-country rounds on Sunday.

And they comfortably retained top spot, with McEwen going clear on Toledo De Kerser, Collett having four faults aboard London 52 and Townend also collecting four with Ballaghmor Class.

Attention then turned to the individual competition where McEwen won the silver medal, while Emily Campbell weighed in with a silver in the women’s +87kg weightlifting.

Here, the PA news agency rounds up the best of Monday’s action.

What happened today

Oliver Townend helped Team GB win gold (Adam Davy/PA)

Townend, Collett and McEwen secured Great Britain’s first Olympic team gold in eventing since Munich 1972. Final British rider Townend had the luxury of knowing he could knock four fences down and still win gold, such was the team’s dominance. All three British riders were making Games debuts, but they delivered high-class displays to end a 49-year wait for team gold.

Campbell finished with a total of 283kg to claim Britain’s first ever women’s weightlifting Olympic medal. Laurel Hubbard, the first openly transgender athlete to compete in the Olympic Games, was eliminated after the snatch section of the competition after failing to register a lift.
