Tokyo Olympics: Bianca Walkden claims taekwondo bronze medal for second successive Olympics

Great Britain’s Bianca Walkden took bronze in the women’s +67kg taekwondo at the Tokyo Olympics with a 7-3 victory over Poland’s Aleksandra Kowalczuk.

The Makuhari Messe Hall had already seen Britain claim two medals with Bradly Sinden and Lauren Williams both picking up silver, and Walkden added a third podium on the final day of taekwondo competition.

The 29-year-old from Liverpool had lost her semi-final against Korea’s Dabin Lee earlier on Tuesday – a last-second head-shot giving her opponent a place in the final – but Walkden ensured she left Tokyo with the same medal she won in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
