O'Connor jubilant after Olympic win

Cian O'Connor, the grandson of Irish rugby great Dr Karl Mullen, choked back the tears as Amhran na bhFiann rang out around the Markopoulo centre tonight, singling the end of Ireland's Athens medal drought.

O'Connor rode a superb clear second round on 13-year-old gelding Waterford Crystal to grab a surprise win, having been joint-fourth after the afternoon's round.
