NICOLA ADAMS is once again an Olympic gold medallist, Britainโ€™s first two-time Olympic champion since Harry Mallin in 1924, and the first female boxer to win two Olympic golds.

Franceโ€™s Sarah Ourahmoune proved a game challenger in the final on Saturday at Riocentro, pressing forward and trying to snag Adams with her straight punches. But she didnโ€™t shake Nicolaโ€™s control of the contest, the Briton won 39-37 for all three judges.

“I just focus like it’s another fight. I take everything in my stride and most importantly try to have fun,” Nicola smiled afterwards. “I felt like I’d done enough to win, definitely. I felt I was winning the rounds quite comfortably and scoring the cleaner shots.

โ€œEvery time you beat someone you’re crushing their dreams. So it’s a tough old process.”

Sheโ€™s not only won the Olympics twice. Sheโ€™s won every other amateur accolade going: the World championships, Europeans, Commonwealths and more.

“I’m absolutely over the moon,โ€ Adams said. โ€œI’m now the most accomplished amateur boxer that Britain has ever had. It’s a nice title to have. It’s been an amazing journey.”
