A stolen Olympic gold medal has been found by a six-year-old girl.

Olympian Joe Jacobi had appealed to thieves who stole his 1992 Olympic gold medal to return it and set up a website www.stolenmedal.com. He was contact through the site by the family of six-year-old girl Chloe Smith who had found the medal whilst out for a walk with her father.

Jacobi was out enjoying a meal with his family when thieves broke into his car and stole his computer bag which also contained the gold medal. The American canoeist won the gold at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.
