Thomas Rohler offered Germany a crumb of comfort after their football team lost to Brazil in the Olympic final by winning his country's first javelin gold in 80 years.
The unheralded Thomas Rohler launched a best of 90.30 metres for Germany's first in the javelin since Gerhard Stock won in the 1936 Games in Berlin.
Kenya's reigning world champion Julius Yego took silver with 88.24m, while defending Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott of Trinidad and Tobago claimed bronze with 85.83m
