The crew, led by Steve Williams and including Tom James, Peter Reed and Andy Triggs-Hodge, put in a dramatic surge to haul back Australia (with France third) and make it three golds in a row at the Olympics for Britain's flagship boat.

It means Williams is now a double Olympic champion after also winning gold in Athens.

And he told BBC One: "That was very, very tough. It's very difficult to put any words together. But we're obviously delighted.

"It's been a very, very tough four or five months. Every day Jurgen (Grobler, coach) kept saying 'there is no-one who can beat you' and some days that was really hard to believe, but we just kept on believing.

"Whatever it was the last 10 or 15 strokes, it was absolutely phenomenal."
