    Britons Caden Cunningham reached the taekwondo semi-finals on his Olympic debut but compatriot Rebecca McGowan lost in the quarter-finals.

    Cunningham, hailed as the future of the sport by two-time GB bronze medallist Bianca Walkden, came through a cagey fight against Cuba's Rafael Alba to win 2-1.

    It had been 0-0 in the last round of the best-of-three fight, but Cunningham picked up four points in the final 10 seconds to secure victory.

    He will face Cheick Cisse of the Ivory Coast from 15:36 BST for a shot at the gold-medal match.

    McGowan, also making her Olympic debut, was outclassed 2-0 by Svetlana Osipova of Uzbekistan in the women's +67kg.

    Great Britain have won a taekwondo medal at every Olympics since Athens in 2004, but have struggled in Paris.

    Favourite Bradly Sinden had to withdraw injured before his men's -68kg bronze medal match, while two-time gold medallist Jade Jones suffered another early defeat in the women's -57kg.

    The bronze medals were won by American Kristina Teachout and Sarah Chaari of Belgium.

    In the men's -80kg final, Katoussi made history by becoming his country's first Olympic champion in taekwondo by beating Iran's Mehran Barkhordari 2-0 in the gold-medal contest.

    Italy's Simone Alessio and Denmark's Edi Hrnic were the bronze medal winners in that category.

    In the bronze-medal matches, Brazil's Edival Pontes defeated Spain's Javier Perez Polo 2-1 and China's Liang Yushuai was given a walkover after opponent Bradly Sinden of Great Britain withdrew with a knee injury.

    In the women's -57kg, South Korea's Kim Yujin took gold with a 2-0 win over Iran's Nahid Kiyanichandeh.

    Skylar Park of Canada won bronze, as did Bulgaria's Kimia Alizadeh.

    Alizadeh won bronze at Rio 2016 for Iran and also competed for the Refugee Olympic Team in Tokyo where she finished fifth.

    Great Britain's Jade Jones' bid for a third Olympic title was ended in the first round by Macedonia's Miljana Reljikj.
