Germany have won a three-woman sprint to snare the Olympic triathlon mixed relay gold medal, while Australia battled at the rear of the field.
Laura Lindemann beat American Taylor Knibb and British triathlete Beth Potter to win in one hour 24 minutes 39 seconds.
There was controversy around the minor placings - the British initially were given the silver medal in the photo finish, but they ended up with bronze behind the Americans after a review.
