Sarah Adlington picks up Grand Prix bronze
Judoka Sarah Adlington (+78kg) won her first Grand Prix medal for three years as GB finished with a total of nine in Cancun.
Adlington, from Shrewsbury, hadn’t fought in international competition in more than a year and took on Croatia’s Ivana Sutalo first up. Sutalo pulled off one of the biggest throws of the day to win the contest which dropped Adlington into the bronze medal contest.
There she was scheduled to face Rochele Nunes, but the Brazilian had picked up an injury, leaving Adlington to pick up her first Grand Prix medal since 2014.
