Great Britain's Chelsie Giles took bronze at the 2024 Judo Grand Slam in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

The 27-year-old claimed the medal with victory over Khorloodoi Bishrelt, 25, from the United Arab Emirates in the women's half-lightweight event.

It is Giles' second Grand Slam medal of the season after taking silver in Paris last month, where she lost the final to Olympic champion Distria Krasniqi.

She has already qualified for this summer's Olympics in Paris.

Coventry-born Giles competed at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, where she also won bronze in the -52kg category.
