    Georgie Thompson is a big fan of horses so is more than likely talking of the second dressage gold won by Britain today along with the gold of Nicola Adams.

    Well done to Taylor btw, and an impressive atmosphere to boot.

    I think you'll find that she is probably commenting on the dressage gold and the gold won by Nicola Adams. And as for the history; well, Adams did win the first ever women's boxing gold.

    Have to laugh at Dunne criticising the Russian for being too defensive, maybe if she'd given him some tips he wouldn't have been put in his arse twice in the first round that time.

    So because he's not the perfect boxer his opinion is invalid :confused:

    Georgie was most likely referring to British boxer Nicola Adams, who has become the first woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing.
