By Sportsbeat staff, London 2012

DESPITE Great Britain's boxing captain Tom Stalker crashing out of London 2012 before he could secure a medal, hopes are still high for Nicola Adams who competes in the first-ever golden bout hoping to claim the top spot.

Keri-Anne Payne stormed to Olympic silver in Beijing but will be determined to go one better in the women's 10k open water marathon.

And the showjumpers may not have been able to continue their gold rush from the team event, but Team GB's dressage riders split up themselves in search of individual success.
