Nicola Adams: Silver

Nicola Adams: Silver

Nicola Adams had to settle for her third consecutive World Championship silver medal after falling to a 14-10 defeat against China's Ren Cancan in the flyweight final in Qinhuangdao on Saturday.

It was a disappointing result for Adams, who was beaten by the same opponent in the final in Bridgetown two years ago, but eased significantly by the knowledge she had already done enough to qualify for London 2012.

Adams was made to pay for a sluggish start as Ren scored early to establish a two-point lead at the end of the first round. Although the Leeds boxer enjoyed increasing success with right hands, Ren extended her lead throughout.
