Welsh boxer Lauren Price will go for gold in the women's middleweight division after winning her semi-final.

The 27-year old has beaten Netherlands fighter Nouchka Fontijn on a split decision.

It means she is guaranteed at least a silver, but will go for Gold against China's Li Qian on Sunday.

Great Britain have also won bronze in the women's hockey at Tokyo 2020 with a close 4-3 victory against India.

The Rio gold medallists came back from 3-2 down in the third quarter, with Grace Balsdon scoring the winning goal after a succession of penalty corners.

The win means it is the third Olympics in a row GB have won a medal.
