Bianca Walkden wins French Open gold on return to competition after Olympics
Two-time Olympic bronze medallist Bianca Walkden won gold at the French Open on her return to competition.
Walkden, 30, had not fought since the Tokyo Olympics but won a first French title since 2013 in beating Solene Avoulette 15-4 in the +73kg final.
Olympic silver medallist Lauren Williams won -67kg silver, while Maddison Moore did likewise at -49kg.
Mo Nour rounded off the British medals with bronze in the men's -58kg division.
"It was good to be back," said three-time world champion Walkden. "I felt nervous because I wasn't sure what would happen. So it's nice to come back with gold."
