Nick Skelton talks about becoming Britain's oldest gold medal winner since 1908

Interview with Nick Skelton, who became Team GB's oldest Olympic medallist since 1908 as he won Britain's first ever individual show-jumping gold after a dramatic final at Rio 2016. Skelton's dazzling display in Deodoro on the brilliant 13-year-old bay stallion Big Star proved a spectacular triumph over adversity. Not only has Skelton battled back from serious injury - a broken neck 16 years ago, persistent chronic back pain and undergoing a hip replacement - but Big Star has also returned to showjumping's biggest stage following injuries that beset him since Skelton's Olympic team gold at London 2012.
