Andrew Simpson and Iain Percy did just enough in the final race of the Star class sailing competition to take gold for Britain, Team GB's 17th gold medal of the Games.
The pair finished fifth in today's race on choppy waters in Qingdao, but, crucially, finished ahead of the Swedish boat, to seal victory in what is considered the blue riband event of Olympic regatta.
