Team GB's Toby Roberts secured the gold medal in the men's boulder and lead final on Friday, while his British teammate Hamish McArthur narrowly missed out on a podium finish.

The 19-year-old, nicknamed 'The Terminator,' placed third in the boulder final before making a remarkable climb in the final round that earned him the top spot.

Roberts' gold medal was the result of four years of dedication, which began when his father constructed a climbing wall in their garden during the 2020 lockdown to support his Olympic training.

'I'm just absolutely lost for words.

To find out I had the gold in that moment was truly incredible,' the teenager told the BBC.

'I've been training for this moment my whole life.

I don't know what to think right now.

I guess there will be a flood of emotions later on.

'Japan's Sorato Anraku, despite being the favorite to win going into the final, took the silver medal.

The 17-year-old led the boulder round but a fall in the lead round dropped him to fifth position, resulting in a second-place overall finish.

Sport climbing made its second appearance at the Olympics, but the Paris Games marked the first time the combined boulder and lead event was separated from speed climbing.
