Greg Rutherford wins Olympics long jump gold for Great Britain

Greg Rutherford becomes the first British man to claim long jump gold since Lynn Davies in 1964.

The Briton's 8.31m effort in the fourth round is enough to push Mitchell Watt of Australia (8.16m) into silver and Will Claye of the United States (8.12m) into bronze.
