Team GB's gold medallist Nathan Hales, speaking to BBC Sport after his success in the trap men's final: "I cannot quite believe it. An amazing experience and it has been unreal. It was very difficult all the way through, but I tried to stay grounded and stuck to my routine. I used breathing techniques that I do with my psychologist."

On setting a new Olympic record: "I didn’t quite realise that until someone mentioned it - it is great. I could hear plenty of shouting and it just spurs you on a bit more."

On winning Great Britain's first shooting Olympic gold since 2012: "A dream come true and something I set out 10 years ago to achieve. I worked with Peter Wilson, who was London’s gold medallist, on the build-up over the last couple of years which has been a great help."
