William Fox-Pitt gets emotional over recovery from head injury

Sporting comeback stories don't come more remarkable than William Fox-Pitt.

Just 10 months ago, Britain's most successful eventer was in an induced coma after suffering a head trauma after falling from his horse.

The 47-year-old was moved to tears when he told 5 live's Chris Warburton that the journey had "been tough" for him and his family.

Although competing is a huge achievement for the 47-year-old, team GB haven't won a medal at these Games.
