Lauren Williams shrugged off a series of “laughable” injury setbacks to move within 10 agonising seconds of Olympic taekwondo gold at the Makuhari Hall in Tokyo.

The Blackwood 22-year-old was denied by a last-gasp burst by Croatian world number one Matea Jelic, whose 25-22 win cost Williams victory but left her to reflect on a performance rendered all the more remarkable by her recent struggles.
