Grabarz claims share of bronze in high jump

Robbie Grabarz completed a remarkable rise by taking a share of the Olympic bronze medal in the high jump tonight.

The 24-year-old had first-time clearances up to 2.29 metres before three failures at 2.33m sent him out of the competition.

Canadian Derek Drouin and Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim had exactly the same record to share third place with the Briton.
