Team GBs womens hockey team claimed Great Britains 24th gold medal of the Rio Olympic games, defeating the Netherlands in the final.It was a huge feat for the team, who claimed the countrys first ever Olympic title in womens hockey after winning a dramatic penalty shootout against the world No. 1 team.Hollie Webb scored the decisive penalty, after it finished 3-3 after normal time.Nick Skelton won Great Britains first individual showjumping gold medal in Olympic history following a stunning performance in Deodoro.The 58-year-old, from Alcester in Warwickshire, also became Britains oldest Olympic gold medallist in any sport, eclipsing shooter Jerry Millner, who won gold in 1908.Skelton and Big Star -- his London 2012 team gold medal-winning ride -- were among six combinations that jumped off against the clock after posting double clear rounds earlier in the day.And Skelton, competing in his seventh Olympics, set a scorching pace of 42.82 seconds despite being first to go, that no other rider could match.It means that Great Britains equestrian team finished their Rio campaign with two gold medals -- Skelton and dressage star Charlotte Dujardin -- plus a silver for the dressage team.Lutalo Muhammad described the horrible moment when his Olympic gold medal dream was dashed in the final second of a dramatic mens -80kg taekwondo final at the Rio Olympic Park on Friday.Muhammad looked set to emulate his Great Britain team-mate Jade Jones when Ivory Coast opponent Cheick Sallah Cisse swung a last-gasp head-kick which snatched an 8-6 win just as the final buzzer sounded.Cisse tore away to wildly celebrate his nations first Olympic gold while the 25-year-old Londoner stood dazed in the middle of the mat, his hopes of victory ripped away in the most heartbreaking fashion.Muhammad, who won bronze at London 2012, said: Its a horrible moment when at the last second his points have gone on the board and the time has run out and there is nothing you can do about it.I hit him in the head and it didnt come up for me and I had to re-focus. I went to the body, I was up, and it was the last kick. My check skimmed off, and his reverse hit.Muhammad had set the pace in a dramatic and keenly contested final, scoring with a three-point head kick in the first and edging back ahead early in the last after the Ivorian responded with a three-pointer of his own.The Briton led 6-4 going into the final moments when Cisse clawed back a single point then struck for the most incredible of finishes as the clock ticked down to zero.Muhammad admitted: Obviously, the emotions are very raw right now. Its tough to lose in the Olympic final, especially in the last second of a match I was winning.It does make it all the more painful. If I was losing throughout I would accept it, but I came very close to achieving my goal, and I am going to have to settle for second best today.The joy of Great Britains women was palpable as they won a first Olympic 4x100 metres medal since 1984.Four years ago Desiree Henry was helping to light the Olympic cauldron with other young, talented British athletes, while Dina Asher-Smith was carrying boxes of kit for the athletes lining up.Great Britain did not even a qualify a 4x100m team to compete at their home Games, but on Friday underlined the vast strides made since then by securing Rio 2016 bronze.Henry and Asher-Smith, along with Asha Philip and Daryll Neita broke the British record they set just last month, finishing third in 41.77 seconds to secure the countrys first womens 4x100m medal at the Olympics in 32 years.This means an awful lot because not only have we worked hard to get faster as individuals we have worked hard as a team, Asher-Smith said.To be able to come out here and deliver the goods when the pressure is on is absolutely incredible. Im so unbelievably proud of all of these girls.Henry added: At times we did feel people had given up on us but as individuals, we know how far British womens sprinting is coming.Each year we have got better and better. We are becoming consistent and winning medals.We have belief in ourselves and our team has belief in us and that is all we need.The Press Association contributed to this report Earl Campbell Womens Jersey .

Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- While the New York Giants are off to their best start since 2009, the obituaries are seemingly being prepared for the defending NFC East champion Washington Redskins.Jay Grudens team is 0-2. There have been reports from anonymous sources about frustration in the locker room, much of it directed at quarterback Kirk Cousins play. The defense is struggling. Its not good.The Redskins will carry that load into MetLife Stadium on Sunday when they face the Giants (2-0) in a game with the added attraction of matching Washington cornerback Josh Norman against New York receiver Odell Beckham Jr.The two tangled a year ago in a game here that resulted with both acting like bullies and Beckham getting a one-game suspension.Thats the sideshow.Its pretty much a now-or-never game for the Redskins. Only three teams since 1990 have started the season 0-3 and made the playoffs, the last being the Bills in 1998.Veteran defensive back DeAngelo Hall says there is no secret formula to winning. Its protecting the ball, forcing turnovers, stopping the run and eliminating the stupid mistakes.Weve got a mindset that we want to take the fight to them, he said. But I mean the plan is the same as it always is. And its just up to us to go out there and try to execute it and be dominant to the best of our ability.Cousins, who returned with a one-year contract under the franchise tag, said two games dont decide a season.Ill let the body of work speak for itself at that point, Cousins said . But, Im excited about the challenge we have this week, and really I have enough of a challenge that I dont need to look much further forward or further back than just the Giants this Sunday.Cousins will be facing a much-improved New York defense. It has allowed 32 points without forcing a turnover.Eli Manning and the Giants offense scored three touchdowns in the win over Dallas, but did not get into the end zone against New Orleans. Three fumbles hurt.Manning isnt looking at this game as a chance to bury the Redskins.Hey, its the next game, he said. Were worried about our season and what weve got to do and its a chance for us to go 3-0 and thats all we are concerned with.Starting 3-0 has its advantages. Ninety nine of the 131 teams that have won their first three games since 1990 have made the playoffs. Thats something the Giants have not done since the 2011 season.Heres some things to watch in the game:NOWHERE TO RUN: The Redskins have about as unballanced an offense as possible, with 89 pass attempts and only a league-low 29 rushes heading into Week 3.dddddddddddd. This despite a lot of talk from GM Scot McCloughan about how he wanted to be a physical team. We have not given the running game really an ample opportunity to flourish, coach Jay Gruden said. Thats something we have to look at.WHERES THE PRESSURE?: The Giants spent a lot of money to sign Olivier Vernon and Damon Harrison and to re-sign Jason Pierre-Paul for the defensive line. Through two games, New York has two sacks, one by safety Landon Collins and the other from nickel back Leon Hall.STALLING OFFENSE: Among Washingtons many problems through two games, two stand out on offense: converting on third down (36 percent) and scoring touchdowns in the red zone (30 percent). In last weeks loss to Dallas, Washington took over inside the Cowboys 40 twice in the second half and came away with six points before the worst possession of all, when Cousins threw an interception on third-and-goal from the 6. Third-down efficiency, we are behind in that category, and red zone has been bad. It really has, Gruden said. It has been surprisingly bad.WHOS GOT THE BALL?: With Rashad Jennings dealing with a thumb injury to his left hand, look to see who gets the ball. Jennings insists he can carry the ball with his hand taped. Expect Shane Vereen and Orleans Darkwa to get a few extra carries this week against a Redskins D ranked No. 28 against the run.FADE-HAPPY: Cousins repeatedly tried to throw fade patterns into the end zone in Week 2, with zero success. That doesnt mean the Redskins are ready to give up on that particular play call. Hindsight, I wish we wouldnt have tried as many, Gruden said, but well throw more fades.WINNING THE CLOSE ONES: New York lost six games last season either late in the fourth quarter or in overtime in missing the playoffs for the fourth straight year. The Giants have won their first two by a total of four points. It is the first time they won consecutive games by a combined margin of four or fewer points since Oct. 22 and Oct. 29, 1939, when they beat the Bears, 16-13, and the Brooklyn Dodgers, 7-6.---AP Pro Football Writer Howard Fendrich and freelancer Ian Quillen in Ashburn, Virginia contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
