Baku 2015 European Games

Team GB's Jade Jones rallies to reach semis

By , Reporter
Olympic champion Jade Jones reaches the semi-finals of the -57kg event in taekwondo at the European Games in Baku with a 5-2 win over Edina Kotsis of Hungary.

A late fightback has handed Team GB's Jade Jones a 5-2 win in her -57kg taekwondo quarter-final against Edina Kotsis at the European Games in Baku.

The Hungarian made the brighter start, picking up a couple of points in the first round, while Jones had a three-point head kick ruled out for an illegal hold.

After failing to score in the second round, the Olympic champion finally got off the mark in the third, catching Kotsis in the face with a head kick to take the lead with less than 30 seconds remaining.

Jones will take on Sweden's Nikita Glasnovic for a spot in the gold-medal match later.
