The European Games champion progressed with a 14-2 quarter-final victory over Germany's Rhonda Nat, then beat Belgian's Raheleh Asemani by the same score.
Britain's Feyi Pearce, 19, won a bronze medal in the -58kg category, losing 8-7 to Germany's Amir Mohammad Hosseini in the semi-finals.
Josh Calland, 17, beat fellow Briton Archie Waldock on the way to the quarter-finals of the -58kg division, before losing to South Korea's Kim Tae-Hun. tomado de :http://www.bbc.com/sport/taekwondo/36124672
