Jade Jones has become the golden girl of Welsh sport after becoming the youngest member of Team GB to win a gold medal during the London Olympics.

Yesterday, the Welsh teenager also made history by becoming Britain's first Olympic taekwondo champion. The 19-year-old from Flint beat China's Yhzhuo Hou in the women's under-57kgs final.

Sports Correspondent, Richard Morgan, spoke to Jade earlier about her success.

Earlier today a post box in Jade's home town of Flint was painted gold to celebrate her win.
