Amy Truesdale and Matt Bush wrote their names into the history books by grabbing Great Britain’s maiden taekwondo golds at the Paralympics in Paris on Saturday night (31 August).

Truesdale triumphed in the women’s K44 +65kg event when defending champion Guljonoy Naimova was dramatically stretchered out of the final.

Welshman Bush then backed up his team-mate’s landmark success by beating Russian Aliaskhab Ramazanov 5-0 in the showpiece match of the men’s K44 +80kg event.

Speaking after the win, Bush made sure to give his coaches their “moment” and thank them for all their support.

“It’s as much their time as it is my time,” he said.
