Triathlete Ben Dijkstra says he is "astonished" to win GB's first gold medal at the Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China, after beating Daniel Hoy of New Zealand in a photo finish.

New Zealand claimed Dijkstra infringed in the transition between the cycle and run, however their appeal was later dismissed.

The 15-year-old from Leicester hopes he can bring home another gold in the mixed-relay team event on Thursday.
