Well done Medical Team GB!
Boxing Head Coach Tulkin Kilichev was celebrating a gold medal for Uzbek boxer Hasanboy Dusmatov in the warm-up area at Roland Garros in Paris on 8 August when he went into cardiac arrest.
Team GB physiotherapist Robbie Lillis, who was in the arena at the time, said there was "a cry for a doctor" prompting him and colleague Dr Harj Singh to rush over to perform CPR and use a defibrillator.
He is doing well in hospital now.

He was lucky they were close by. Hope he recovers well.
