Murray on 'biggest win' of career 5 August 2012 Last updated at 16:15 Olympics 2012: Andy Murray wins Britain's 16th gold medal Great Britain clinched two historic gold medals as their amazing run of success continued on Day Nine of the London Olympics.
Andy Murray swept aside world number one Roger Federer in straight sets 6-2 6-1 6-4 in the men's singles final to claim Olympic glory at Wimbledon.
"This was one of the biggest wins of my life," he said.
"This week has been incredible for me, the support has been amazing at all of the Olympic the events."
He added: "I watched the athletics on Saturday and the way Mo Farah won gave me a boost coming into today."
He is the first British man to win the Olympic singles gold medal since Josiah Ritchie in 1908.
Earlier, 35-year-old
Ben Ainslie had
become the most-decorated sailor in Games history with his fourth individual gold thanks to victory in the Finn class at Weymouth.
Ainslie said: "It's been incredibly hard - there's a huge amount of pressure to perform at a home Games. It's been the hardest couple of weeks of my life but you just have to get on with the job."
Louis Smith narrowly missed clinching Britain's first-ever Olympic title in men's gymnastics as he took silver on the pommel at Greenwich Arena, while
Max Whitlock secured bronze for GB.
Sailors
Iain Percy and
Andrew Simpson also took silver as they were edged out by Sweden for gold in the Star class in Weymouth.
Cyclist
Ed Clancy is then in action in the multi-discipline omnium, with the final event starting at 18:18. He is looking to add to the cycling team's four out of five gold medals at the London Velodrome.
In athletics, defending champion
Christine Ohuruogu will defend her Olympic title in the women's 400m at 21:10 and appears to be Britain's best hope of adding to last night's three golds medals in the Olympic Stadium.
The last race of the night sees world record holder
Usain Bolt in action in the showpiece 100m final at 21:50.
Britons
Dwain Chambers, Adam Gemili and
James Dasaolu are likely to need to break 10 seconds and post a season's best time to progress beyond the semi-finals at 19:45.
In the morning session at the Velodrome, British cyclist
Victoria Pendleton broke the Olympic individual sprint record but her potential final is not until Tuesday.
Meanwhile, a record 719,000 people turned out to watch Olympic events on Saturday - 92% of London 2012's capacity. So far, a total of about 5.1 million spectators have watched the Games, including more than one million visitors to the Olympic Park in Stratford, east London.
