Ruta Meilutyte has won the 100m breaststroke gold for Lithuania at the Olympics this evening.
The 15-year-old sensation, who broke the European record during the semi-finals, edged out US favourite Rebecca Soni with a time of 1:05.47.
Soni had to settle for silver with a time of 1:05.55, almost a clear second ahead of bronze medal-winner Satomi Suzuki of Japan.
Australia's Leisel Jones could only manage fifth place with a 1:06.95 finish, while Soni's compatriot Breeja Larson came in sixth.
Meilutyte's victory marks Lithuania's first ever gold medal in a swimming event.
