Italy's Alberto Busnari produced a flare-filled performance to move into the lead before Hungary's Vid Hidvegi came off the horse, ending his medal hopes.

The entire arena waited for Smith's score to flash up on the screen and he was awarded 16.066 - the same score as Berki, but the Briton lost out for gold in an agonising tie-break as Berki's execution score was marginally higher.
Smith had increased his difficulty level by a tenth, but Berki's extra style was enough to edge out his rival and claim his first Olympic title.
