Great Britain's Lauren Williams took silver in the women's -67kg taekwondo competition at Tokyo 2020 after losing the final bout to Croatia's Matea Jelic.

Williams, 22, was beaten 25-22 but picks up GB's second silver medal in taekwondo at the Games.

Egypt's Hedaya Malak won bronze for a second successive Olympics after defeating American Paige Mherson in their medal bout.

Wales' Williams, making her Olympic debut, led with 14 seconds on the clock before Jelic came back right at the end to snatch the gold medal.

Immediately after the bout, Williams told BBC Sport: "It's not enough, I had her, about 10 seconds to go, but I just let it go... I made a mistake and let it go, it's on me.

"I went out there to win and tried my best but it didn't happen on the day. I am very happy with how I performed but it's a shame she got it. An Olympic silver medal is not bad, is it">
