Max Whitlock has won two gold medals in an hour in Rio as he sealed first place in the floor gymnastics and the pommel horse shortly after.

The 23-year-old made history by becoming the first British man to win a gold medal in the floor gymnastics.

And shortly afterwards, he also took the top medal in the pommel horse final - days after he ended Great Britain's 108-year dry spell in the men's all-round gymnastics by picking up a bronze medal.

Productive Whitlock helped Team GB soar to second place in the medal table, with Justin Rose picking up a historic gold medal in the golf after a nail-biting round.
