Kellie Harrington produced another masterclass to claim gold at the European Games in Poland today, the 33-year-old Dubliner defeating Serbia’s Natalia Shadrina 5-0 by unanimous decision in the women’s lightweight (60kg) final.

Shadrina, a Russian who now competes for Serbia, proved a tricky puzzle for the reigning Olympic champion to solve, with Harrington losing the first round 3-2 at the Nowy Targ Arena. However, Harrington summoned all her skill and experience in the second, adjusting to the Serbian’s head-down, charging style and taking it 5-0.
