Britain's Hannah Baughn and Ryan Bartlett won bronze in the acrobatic mixed pair all-around at the European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The pair scored 85.160 to edge out Ukrainian duo Yelyzaveta Vasylyga and Shpyn Oleksandr, to take Britain's first gymnastics medal of the Games.

Meanwhile, Olympic boxing champion Nicola Adams came through her first fight against Hungary's Katalin Ancsin.

But taekwondo world champion Bianca Walkden lost in her quarter-final.

She lost by a golden point after a 13-13 tie against Ukrainian Maryna Konieva and now has to wait to see if she qualifies for the repechage, which would still give her chance of a bronze medal.

Adams, meanwhile, will face Bulgaria's Stoyka Petrova in her next bout on Monday.

British number two Paul Drinkhall missed out on a medal by finishing fourth in the men's table tennis after losing 4-2 to Ukrainian Lei Kou.
