Show jumper Nick Skelton talks to Jonathan Agnew about his gold medal success for Great Britain.

"You always dream about it but when it actually happens it is real life," Skelton told 麻豆约拍 Radio 5 live.

"I have been thinking about this and planning it since London four years ago.

"I knew if I kept my cool this horse would do it. I knew if I did not make a mistake, he wouldn't either."

The 58-year-old, who initially retired 16 years ago after breaking his neck in two places, claimed individual gold after a six-way jump-off.

It is Britain's first individual show jumping medal since Anne Moore's silver in 1972, and adds to Skelton's win in the team event at London 2012.

The victory takes Britain's Rio tally to 23 golds and a total of 57 medals.

Skelton's triumph has only been eclipsed by Joshua Millner, who claimed shooting gold in 1908 at the age of 61.
