    What has amazed me about Whittaker is the way he has grown into his role here. Here we are in round seven of his Olympics and he has got better with each round and that is what you should do. That is called big game mentality.

    Good stuff from Ben Whittaker - he's very clever - he knows how to punch in range and then just drift in and measure the distance and gap to his opponent - his opponent has got long arms as well.

    Nice boxing from Whittaker.

    Thinking it is quite ironic that [Beth Shriever] had to pick the gold medal up and put it round her own neck. Which is, seeing that she crowdfunded herself, she hasn't been supported by the team I think is quite a statement and quite poignant.

    Duncan Scott's fifth Olympic medal (he won two relay medals in Rio) equals the record by a British swimmer, set by Henry Taylor back in 1920. Scott's three medals at this Olympics are the best by a British swimmer for 93 years, since Joyce Cooper in 1928.

    [Beth Shriever] wanted this medal more than anything. She is only 22 years of age, Beth, and you can see she is absolutely delighted.

    She is stood on the podium with the Olympic Rings behind her almost like a halo over her head.

    I'm just overwhelmed - Shrieverpublished at 05:19 British Summer Time 30 July 2021

    BBC Sport

    Bethany Shriever talking to BBC Sport

    I’m in shock. To even be here is an achievement in itself. To make the final is an achievement in itself. To win a medal – honestly I’m so over the moon. It just means so much.

    I’m so grateful for the support. Everyone waking up at home. I’m just overwhelmed.

    Was gold realistic – did you think you had what it takes?

    It wasn’t my goal. The results are out of my control. To just keep to my routine and keep my cool around the track was what I was best at and I managed to hold on and take the win. It’s crazy, it’s actually crazy.

    A word on Kye Whyte who won silver in the men's race moments before

    I was watching him just as I was going up, I was almost crying because he got a silver. I had to keep my cool, reset and dig in and like you saw I had no legs, I gave it everything I got.

    What was going on at the end?

    I had nothing left. The lactic acid – it was crazy.

    I gave it absolutely everything I had then – and I was rewarded.

    Thanks everyone for the support, it means so much, we wouldn’t be here without you guys.

    Bethany Shriever's gold medal means that Great Britain becomes the third country - after France and the Netherlands - to win Olympic gold medals in all four cycling disciplines (BMX, Mountain Bike, Road and Track).

    Britain's Bethany Shriever won a superb gold in the women's BMX racing final, just moments after team-mate Kye Whyte claimed the nation's first ever Olympic medal in the event with silver in the men's.

    Shriever, 22, needed crowdfunding to be able to go to Japan but she was lifted into the air by Whyte as the pair celebrated their historic achievements in Tokyo.

    Shriever held off two-time champion Mariana Pajon to win, while in the men's race Whyte finished 0.114 seconds behind Dutch rider Nie Kimmann.

    Whyte, also 22, has fought back from serious injury to earn his place on the Olympic podium and looked stunned as he celebrated with his family back home on a video screen at trackside.
