Britain's Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark win sailing gold

Sailors Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark have won the gold medal in the women's 470 class at Rio.

Four years on from taking silver, the duo arrived in Brazil determined to go one better.

Mills and Clark produced an opening series as impressive as it was consistent to see them head into the women's 470 medal race all but assured of gold.

The British duo merely had to complete the double-point medal race without disqualification and duly did so, easing home in eighth in the delayed finale to rubber-stamp glory.

The result takes Team GB's medal tally at the Olympics to 21 golds, 21 silvers and 13 bronzes.
