Roberts ropes in a gold on judgement day
Athlete secures first-ever Olympic sport climbing medal in boulder and lead for Team GB

TEAM GB’S Toby Roberts won gold in the men’s boulder and lead competition at the Paris Olympics today.
Roberts’ gutsy style has earned him the nickname “The Terminator” — associated with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character in the 1980s US science fiction action film.
It was a moniker he had to explain after winning Great Britain’s first-ever Olympic sport climbing medal in boulder and lead — earned in dramatic fashion after Japanese favourite Sorato Amkaru fell within touching distance of gold — and he admitted he is not too comfortable with it.
