Charlotte Dujardin moved alongside Katherine Grainger as Great Britain's most decorated female Olympian as she claimed team dressage bronze in Tokyo.

Dujardin, Carl Hester and Charlotte Fry finished third behind, while the United States gold medal winners Germany.

Dujardin, 36, won two golds at London 2012 and gold and silver at Rio 2016.

Hester and Fry both had GB in second place after their routines but despite Dujardin scoring the team’s highest score she could only steer them to third place.

Dujardin, 36, will bid to become the only British woman to claim gold at three Olympics in Wednesday's individual final.
