MANCHESTER, England, Oct. 20 -- China's Olympic champion Zheng Shuyin beat home-grown hero and pre-tournament favorite Bianca Walkden of Britain to win the women's over 67kg category title at the Manchester Taekwondo Grand Prix on Saturday.
Zheng fought in a captivating final fight of the day with loud cheers of support from the crowd for world champion Walkden. Neither fighter was able to register a point in a cagey opening round before Zhen took a 4-1 lead going into the last round.
And despite a late flurry from Walkden, spurred on by a partisan home crowd, it was her Chinese opponent who came out on top with a 6-4 victory.
Maria Espinoza of Mexico and Pan Gao of China shared the bronze medals.
