Israel's Linoy Ashram has caused a huge upset in the Olympic rhythmic gymnastics individual all-around final, becoming the first non-Russian champion since 1996.

The 22-year-old toppled the long-standing reign by beating gold medal favourite Dina Averina of the Russian Olympic Committee into second place.

Averina was left in tears as the scores were revealed, and said she felt her awarded marks were too low.

Before Ashram's victory, Israel's best result in this event was a seventh-place finish by Neta Rivkin at London 2012.
