Great Britain's eventing team have secured an Olympic bronze medal after finishing behind Germany and Australia in the showjumping phase of the equestrian competition in Hong Kong.
Britain's team of Tina Cook, Mary King, William Fox-Pitt, Sharon Hunt and Daisy Dick finished up with 185.70, well short of a silver.
Cook enjoyed Britain's only clear round, a feat she matched on Miners Frolic in the individual showjumping to give her a second bronze medal.
Having started the individual final tied for sixth Cook jumped a clear round for the second time in the evening but needed at least four of the remaining six riders to pick up fence penalties if she was to move into the medal positions.
Australian Clayton Fredericks, on Ben Along Time, knocked over one fence to pick up four penalty points before Germany's Andreas Dibowski, on Butts Leon, also hit a fence meaning Cook moved up to fifth.
American Gina Miles cleared all fences on McKinlaigh but Megan Jones of Australia and Germany's Ingrid Klimke both incurred four penalty points to drop down the standings.
Fantastic
Speaking after her podium triumph, Cook said: "I have waited a while. I went to Sydney as reserve which was a fantastic experience but also a frustrating one.
"I was slightly wishing one of my fellow competitors might get a bruise and give me the opportunity to compete, but they didn't.
"I got the opportunity here and the horse went very well in all three phases and for a young horse I am very proud of him."
Hinrich Romeike added another gold for Germany when he just about managed a clear round to pip Gina Miles of the United States on McKinlaigh.
Great Britain began the final day of the team event comfortably in third spot but needing a strong performance to have any hope of catching the top two.
Fox-Pitt picked up just four penalty points on Parkmore Ed for a final tally of 64.20 while veteran Mary King, on Call Again Cavalier, scored eight penalty points to finish on 64.10.
But it was Olympic debutant Cook who performed best as the 37-year-old cleared all the fences to help make sure of a place on the podium.
Ireland's team of Patricia Ryan, Niall Griffin, Geoffrey Curran, Louise Lyons and Austin O'Connor finished eighth with 276.10 points.
