Switzerland's Nino Schurter won mountain biking gold in the men's cross-country final at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday. The current world champion added the Olympic crown after a late attack helped him pull away from London 2012 winner Jaroslav Kulhavy of the Czech Republic.
The two led the way for long portions of the race, as some of the biggest names in the field struggled.
Slovakia's Peter Sagan ran into disaster when a front-tyre puncture took him from third to out of the leading mix. While misfortune slowed Sagan, France's Julien Absalon battled hard but couldn't stay with the leaders in his last race before retirement.
