Welsh boxer Lauren Price has taken gold at Tokyo 2020.

The former Wales football international beat China's Li Qian to become the middleweight champion on the final day in Tokyo.

It means she's the second British woman to win Olympic boxing gold after Nicola Adams.

It's Team GB's 22nd and final gold of the Games, taking the overall tally to 65 - the same as London 2012.

Earlier, Jason Kenny became Britain's outright most successful and decorated Olympian - winning his seventh gold by retaining track cycling's keirin title.

It's his ninth medal overall - one more than next best, Sir Bradley Wiggins.

The closing ceremony starts at midday on Sunday.
