When silver is better than gold

British taekwondo fighter Lutalo Muhammad won the Olympic silver medal in a controversial fashion as he lost gold in the final second to Ivory Coast's Cheick Sallah Cisse.

Muhammad gave an emotional interview straight after the defeat in which he described how "distraught" he was.

But he tells Sport Today's Michael Williams that since returning to Britain he feels he has received "more attention" than if he had won the gold medal.
