Dutch speed skater Sven Kramer took the gold medal in the Winter Olympics 5,000m event, his 12th international title in a row.
Kramer, who was one of the favourites for the distance, completed the course in 6.14,60, a new Olympic record.
The silver medal went to Korea's Seung-Hoon Lee (6.16,95), while bronze was won by the Russian Ivan Skobrev (6.18,05).
As soon as it became clear Kramer had won, he climbed over the tribune to his parents and hugged them both. Next he embraced girlfriend Naomi van As, who plays hockey for the Netherlands and is part of the team which holds the world and Olympic title.
