Aaliyah Powell also claimed bronze at the 2019 World Championships

Great Britain's Aaliyah Powell won bronze in the -62kg category at the World Taekwondo Championships in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Powell was denied a place in the final when she was defeated by Belgium's Sarah Chaari despite starting well.

The 20-year-old raced into a 3-0 lead but eventually lost 12-6.

Chaari took the gold medal by beating Greece's Theopoula Sarvanaki, who reached the final with a victory against Feruza Sadikova.

There was no third-place match between Powell and Uzbekistan's Sadikova - instead, both losers from the semi-finals took bronze.
