Dry Doddington's Shona McCallin has become a gold-medal winning Olympic champion after a dramatic night in Rio.

Great Britain were up against the Netherlands in the final of the women's hockey event, with their opponents looking for a third successive Olympic crown.

McCallin, 24, a former Newark Hockey Club player, was one of the stars for Great Britain in a gritty performance as they came from behind twice in the final.

A goal in the final quarter helped Great Britain to a 3-3 draw, and they won 2-0 on penalty flicks to seal a first historic gold.
