GB's Jones in another early Olympics loss

Jade Jones' bid for Olympic history is over after another early defeat in the taekwondo -57kg first round in Paris.

The 31-year-old Briton was bidding to become the first three-time Olympic champion in the sport's history.

She was beaten at the same stage in Tokyo three years ago - which she later described as the "biggest low" of her career.

On Thursday, Jones lost the first round of the best-of-three tie to Macedonia's Miljana Reljikj, narrowly won the second and drew the third.

That led to the number of registered hits being used as a tie-breaker, with Reljkik coming out on top.

Jones could still compete for bronze later in the repechage should Reljkik reach the finals at the Grand Palais.

Earlier, Britain's Bradly Sinden registered a quick victory in the men's -68kg.

Sinden, aiming to become the first British man to win Olympic gold in the sport, beat Kevin Kassman of Papua New Guinea 2-0.
