Sally Conway wins bronze for Team GB in judo

The 29-year-old from Edinburgh beat Bernadette Graf of Austria in a tense contest. She secured victory with a single throw midway through the clash.

Conway had to pick herself up losing her semi-final defeat which was decided by a golden scpre. She looked devasted and stayed on the mat with her hands over her face for several seconds. But Conway, who was knocked out at the last 16 stage in the same category at London 2012, picked herself up impressively to add to Britain's growing medal tally.

It's team GB's third medal in just over an hour thanks to the heroics of Joe Clarke in the canoe slalom.
