Cian O' Connor has taken Ireland's first official Olympic medal after he won bronze in showjumping.

O' Connor was forced into a jump-off against Dutch rider, Gerco Shroder, after he was penalised for 2 millisecond time-fault in his second round.

O' Connor knocked the last fence, meaning that he just lost out to Shroder who had recorded a faultless run.

The win takes Ireland's medal haul from the London games to four.
