Lauren Williams is guaranteed a silver medal – at least – after securing a spot in the women’s -67kg final at Tokyo 2020.

The 22-year-old, who got into taekwondo after watching Jade Jones win at London 2012, sunk to the mat in disbelief after beating Rio bronze medallist Ruth Gbagbi in the semi-finals.

Williams will face Croatia’s Matea Jelic in the final at 13:30 BST.
