    Tina Cook, Britain's three-time Olympic medallist, on BBC Radio 5 live: "You can see the sweat pouring off Nick's face - but he won't care! He has got very emotion and I can't blame him, he has waited a long time for this moment.

    "He had one mistake on the very first day and has upped his game to the maximum. He has got better and better and the horse has shown some world-class jumping.

    "If I'm being honest I thought we did have a strong chance of a medal - but I couldn't have said it was gold."

    Nick Skelton looks like a man who can't believe what has just happened. Helmet off, he is shaking hands and signing autographs. Get that man a pint of something.

    What a fantastic performance and it has come from nowhere. Total sweeping away of the points today gave everyone a chance but Nick has out performed and out jumped everybody. Nick is hugging everything that is moving. He is in a state of absolute delirium and it is fantastic.

    Former international show jumper Andy Austin on BBC One: "We all hoped, all dreamed and believed that Nick Skelton and Big Star could do it. 

    "He nursed this horse to get here, what an extraordinary performance.

    "All of Nick Skelton's dreams have come true."

    It's gold for Nick Skelton! On Big Star, he is the Olympic showjumping champion.

    The 58-year-old, in his seventh Games, has become GB's second-oldest gold-medal winner.

    Broken neck, replaced hip and now an individual gold-medal winner. Incredible stuff.

    He's outside the time! Fredricson goes clear, but the time is 43.35. Skelton has silver at least. Only Eric Lamaze between him and gold...
