Nicole Cooke claimed Britain's first gold medal of the Beijing Olympics by winning a thrilling women's road race.
The 25-year-old from Wales timed her finish to perfection, edging ahead of Emma Johansson and Tatiana Guderzo in the sprint to the line.
Cooke finished in a time of three hours, 32 minutes and 24 seconds to become Britain's first Olympic medallist in this event.

Mark Cavendish ans Bradley Wiggins will win gold. Cav is the fastest man in the world. He absolutely blitzed the field in the Tour de France. The track cycliists are good aswell with Chris Hoy, Wiggins, Cav, Pendleton, Romero and that BMX girl.
