GP FINAL 2017
"Bianca Walkden" becomes first ever fighter to win all four Grand Prix
Dec 2017 Great Britain’s "Bianca Walkden" made taekwondo history at the World Taekwondo Grand Prix Final in Cote d’Ivoire this weekend as she won gold to become the first ever fighter to win all four Grand Prix titles in one year.
Walkden’s gold medal in the Grand Prix final was the perfect way to cap off a year which has not only seen her win gold in the Grand Prix in Moscow, Russia; Rabat, Morocco; and London, UK; but also claim her second world title at the World Championships in Muju.
Walkden faced Da-bin Lee of Korea in the Grand Prix Final in Cote d’Ivoire. After going behind early on, Walkden finished the first round 9-3 up. Lee fought back in the second round but ultimately wasn’t able to stop Walkden making history as Walkden won the match 16-9.
