Laura Collett, Tom McEwen and Ros Canter sealed a fifth Olympic eventing team title for Great Britain at the Chateau de Versailles in Paris.

The trio enjoyed a perfect opening day, chalking up record low scores for the dressage phase both as a group and for Collett individually.

A total of 15.8 penalties incurred on Saturday's cross-country stage had made it tight at the top with second-placed France, but a clear round from McEwen, with one fence down from both Canter and Collett, was good enough to seal gold.

Team GB finished on 91.30 penalties, ahead of France in second on 103.6 and Japan in third on 115.80.

Britain also triumphed in the team competition in Tokyo, with this victory making them the first nation to win the team gold medal on five occasions.

Canter was first out for Britain, knocking down the sixth fence but with the first French rider Nicolas Touzaint having had two down, Britain still held a healthy advantage.

McEwen's clear only strengthened that position and while Collett hit the last, gold was already assured.

Later in the day Collett collected a bronze medal on London 52 in the individual eventing competition.

She went into the individual jumping round in third, with fellow Brit Tom McEwen 2.7 penalties behind in fourth.

Both jumped clear, but with German Michael Jung and Australian Christopher Burton also enjoying perfect rounds to take first and second respectively, Collett had to be content with third.
