Buckhurst Hill’s Charli Payne was unable to add to her three-medal haul at the World Karate Championship after sustaining an injury.
Payne, who belongs to the Trodai Academy Karate Club, had already scooped team gold, silver and bronze as part of the AMA England National Karate squad at the WUKF World Championships in Szczecin, Poland, when injury struck.
Payne said: “Accidents can happen in any sport. The Polish medical team were great; as were the Polish people. I’ll be back training for the next championship soon.”
