Adams "over the moon" with gold medal

Team England boxer Nicola Adams has said that she is "over the moon" with her gold-medal victory in this afternoon's women's flyweight final at the Commonwealth Games.

The 31-year-old, who also won gold in the ring at London 2012, recorded a split-decision win over Northern Ireland's Michaela Walsh at the SSE Hydro.

"I'm absolutely over the moon," Adams told BBC Sport. "I'm overwhelmed, I can't believe it. The support I have had - I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has turned up today and to those who have supported from home.

"I knew it was close through the rounds but I thought I had done enough to just take it. It's definitely been a Scottish rumble in the jungle."

The gold medal was England's 50th of Glasgow 2014.
