Sky News speaks to teenager Roberts, who bagged Britain's first ever Olympic gold medal in the sport climbing category, and heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson after she secured silver.
Great Britain's Olympic gold medal-winning climber Toby Roberts has said winning in Paris was the 'proudest moment' of his life. The 19-year-old took the Olympic title in the men's boulder and lead after beating Japan's Sorato Anraku - who was the favourite going into the event. The win came as a tremendous surprise to Roberts, who said he was 'incredibly happy' to bag the silver when Anraku fell off the wall before reaching the gold-medal mark.
' When quizzed on his future, having achieved his dream at such a young age, Roberts said he will 'take a breather' before setting his sights on the 2028 LA Olympic Games. 'Feels like a dream' Another British athlete whose journey at the Paris Games ended with a spot on the podium is heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
