Bianca Walkden, 29, won bronze at Rio 2016 (Picture: Reuters) Anna Haraini summarises her daughter’s skills thusly: “She does three-course meals, five-course meals, she plays piano, and she kicks people in the head.” Most parents would be gravely concerned by the final point, but no one else gave birth to three-time taekwondo world champion Bianca Walkden. In 2017, Walkden banked a record-breaking £52,000 then the sport’s biggest-ever first prize by defeating American Jackie Galloway at the World Taekwondo Grand Slam Series. Walkden’s latest global conquest, completed at the Manchester championships in 2019, installed her as the first Brit to win a world taekwondo treble.
