In the end it took one moment of brilliance to claim the Olympic gold medal. World champion Malaika Mihambo trailed until the final round, when she unleashed the only seven metre jump of the competition to snatch victory. Until then, the USA s 2012 Olympic champion Brittney Reese and Nigeria’s Ese Brume had traded the lead through the first five rounds.
