Sarah Stevenson to head Team GB taekwondo team

The British Olympic Association (BOA) have announced that Sarah Stevenson will lead the Team GB taekwondo team at the Olympics next month.

The 29-year-old is the reigning world champion in her discipline after her success in South Korea last year.

Stevenson, along with Jade Jones and Martin Stamper, will form three of the four-person team, with the final member decided at a later date.

Lutalo Muhammed had initially been given a place on the team, but his selection was vetoed by the BOA in favour of world number one Aaron Cook.
