Great Britain's Charlotte Worthington recovered from a fall on her first run to win a thrilling gold in the women's BMX park freestyle Olympic final.

The 25-year-old, who gave up work as a chef to focus on the sport in 2017, delivered an action-packed score of 97.50 to snatch gold on her second run.

With no score of significance on the board after her fall, Worthington had to deliver on run two and she duly landed a 360-degree backflip early on.

She celebrated her score wildly and then watched as four rivals - including hotly-tipped American Hannah Roberts - failed to usurp her sublime golden mark.
