LONDON (Reuters) - Serbian Milica Mandic won the taekwondo gold medal in the women's heavyweight division at the London Games, beating Anne-Caroline Gaffe of France in the final on Saturday.
After a tight opening two rounds, Mandic opened up in the third and picked off world champion Graffe with quick kicks to the body, running out a 9-7 winner to earn Serbia their first gold medal of the Games.
Russia's Anastasia Baryshnikova and Mexican Maria Espinoza won the bronze medals following the repechage competition.
