Double Olympic gold medallist Jade Jones wrote herself into the taekwondo history books once more by powering to World Grand Prix glory in Manchester.
Jones lived up to her favourite tag by dominating the competition en route to -57kg gold, as teammate Damon Sansum also landed a -80kg silver on the final day of competition, with the two medals taking Britain’s tally to a record-equalling five.
In front of a rapturous crowd at the Etihad Campus, Jones claimed her title with a comfortable 11-4 victory over Chinese fighter Lijun Zhou.
And despite having delivered on the highest stages on the planet in London and Rio, the Flint fighter admitted she still had butterflies in her stomach prior to the home tournament.
"At the start of the day I was in tears because I was so nervous as everyone expects you to win," an ecstatic Jones said.
"But with the crowd screaming for you it was impossible not to go for it.
"It's a long journey to the Tokyo and this is my start and I'm aiming to be the very best version of me at the Olympics.
"There's a lot of bumps along the way but I feel in good shape and I'm constantly improving."
Sansum had to settle for silver place after a 22-7 defeat in the final to Raul Martinez Garcia, yet the former World Championships medallist had a day to remember in front of the noisy crowd.
Grand Prix silverware has eluded Sansum in recent years, and he was delighted to break the barren run in Manchester with his best-ever Grand Prix result.
"I waited four years for another Grand Prix medal and now I have a bronze and a silver in the space of two months," said Sansum, who won bronze in Chinese Taipei
"I needed the ranking points to get through to the Grand Prix final, and under pressure I've done that."
Earlier in the -57kg category, GB youngster Kyla Julien narrowly missed out on a thrilling first-round victory on her Grand Prix debut.
She came agonisingly close against the impressive Nikita Glasnovic, who has a World Championship bronze medal to her name.
Huddersfield fighter Julien will hope to excel in the Olympics herself one day, and she managed to take the lead in the final round.
Experience told eventually though, and Julien couldn’t quite stop the Croatian claiming a 13-11 victory.
“I tried with everything I had. I was trying to land shots but she was covering them all.” Julien said.
“I threw a kick and looked at the score board hoping it had hit. I should have carried on kicking instead so perhaps a little bit of inexperience.
“Even though I have lost here I know I have come a very long way since last year.
“It was so much better and a great help to have support from family and friends. A lot of the time they don’t get to come because we are fighting quite far away.” Sportsbeat 2018
