Di Francisca wins Olympic fencing gold, Vezzali bronze

Di Francisca beat Italy's Arianna Errigo 12-11 at ExCeL in London to win the country's second gold medal and fifth medal of the games.

The country's Olympic fencing legend, Valentina Vezzali, was unable to become the first women in history to win gold medals at four consecutive Games after losing her semi-final to Errigo.

She did, however, recover to beat South Korea's Nam Hyun-Hee 13-12 and claim a bronze medal, Italy's fifth in London.
