Taekwondo: Britain's Jordyn Smith claims first senior bronze medal at European Championships

British teenage taekwondo fighter Jordyn Smith claimed bronze on the opening day of the European Championships in Kazan.

Smith secured her first senior medal with a golden-point defeat of German Ozlem Guruz in the quarter-finals.

The Scot, 17, then lost to Dina Pouryounes of the Netherlands 8-5 in the -46kg semi-finals.

"Firstly I was disappointed, but as it's my first senior competition I'm really happy to win bronze," she said.
