Britain’s Jade Jones won the World Taekwondo Grand Prix Final in Ivory Coast.

It is the double Olympic champion’s second successive World Grand Prix Final title, defeating Spain’s Marta Calvo-Gomez 26-7 in a dominant display.

The Welsh fighter will end 2017 as the -57kg world number one.

She spoke to BBC Sport following her victory in the end-of-season competition, reflecting on changes to coaching personnel: "It feels amazing to finish on a high. All the changes are hard and the whole team has had a lot to cope with but we're strong as a group and have to keep pushing, so it's nice to be back on top."
