Toby Roberts won Great Britain's 14th gold in Paris and their first medal in sport climbing at an Olympics with a dramatic victory in the boulder and lead event.
Roberts, who improved his climbing on a DIY wall built in his dad's garden, was third in the first part of the competition, contested across four boulders. Anraku only had to match the Briton on the lead wall to knock Roberts into silver, but he lost his grip, resulting in gasps from the 6,000-strong crowd."To find out that I had got the gold in that moment was truly incredible."
