Athlete wins first independent gold at Olympics

Fehaid Al-Deehani has become the first athlete at the Olympic Games to
win a gold medal as an independent.

The Kuwaiti international has won medals for his country at previous
Olympics but Kuwait was banned by the International Olympic Committee
in 2015.

It's the first medal won by an independent athlete since the Games in
Barcelona back in 1992.

William Denselow reports from Rio.
