It's Olympic gold for Wales this morning.

Hannah Mills together with her partner Eilidh McIntyre, have won a gold medal in the 470-sailing class.

They finished fifth in the medal race, but their earlier performances meant it was enough to hold off silver medallists Poland and France in bronze.

Mills won gold in the class in Rio and silver at London 2012 and was one of the flag bearers at this year's games.

GB have now won five sailing medals in Tokyo, three of which are gold.
