It's been Cuba's day at the Sydney Olympic Games, with five gold medals in one morning's competition.

Cuban boxers won four finals, including the heavyweight division, in which Felix Savon claimed his third consecutive gold. The other Cuban winners were the bantamweight Guillemo Rigondeaux, the lightweight Mario Kindelan and the middleweight Jorge Gutierrez. And the Cubans also took the women's volleyball gold medal, coming from behind to beat Russia three-two. Brazil beat the United States for the bronze medal.
