GB win wheelchair rugby gold in thrilling final

Great Britain claimed gold in a thrilling wheelchair rugby final against the United States at the Copper Box.

Captain Charlie Walker scored with just 36 seconds remaining to claim a famous 13-12 win.

Walker also crossed at the death, but the final hooter had gone just a millisecond earlier.

USA’s star man, Ryan McIntosh, was crucially sin-binned four times during the final.

He almost made a crucial intervention at the end though, when he almost crossed with little more than a minute left on the clock.

That man Walker - who else - blocked him, before going on to get the decisive goal.
