Taekwondo young gun Anastasia Galazoula has taken out the Under-21 Greek National Championship in dramatic circumstances, leaving her charge late to claim victory in the golden point round.

The 17-year-old, who first featured in Neos Kosmos in March (‘Taekwondo teenager kicking butt’), qualified for the final at the tournament after winning her three qualifying matches, and then left it until the dying seconds of the third round of that final to take it to a 3-3 draw and force a golden point round.

Galazoula’s win now sees her join the Greek national team, which will compete at the European Under-21 Taekwondo Championships in Romania later this year.
