Yuri Cheban brings second "gold" for Ukraine

Cheban beat Valentin Demyanenko of Azerbaijan in a sprint to the finish line. Brazil's Isaquias Queiroz got the bronze — his second medal at the Rio Olympics. Thus, Cheban has become the two-time Olympic champion: he also won the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics. This is also the second gold won by Ukrainians in the Rio Olympics, with four silver and two bronze medals bringing the countrys’ total medal count to 8.
