Jade Jones claimed her second World Taekwondo Grand Prix final success of the year by beating former world champion Luo Zongshi.

Two-time Olympic champion Jones, 30, defeated her Chinese opponent 2-0 in the final of the -57kg division in Paris.

Wales' Jones has now triumphed in her last three tournaments.

The latest win meant some revenge for last year's world championship semi-final defeat to Zongshi.

Jones, who overcame Turkey's Hatice Ilgun 2-1 to reach the final, is aiming to become the first taekwondo athlete to win three Olympic gold medals when she competes in Paris next year.
