Bianca Walkden completed a tumultuous Olympic Games taekwondo competition for Great Britain by sealing a bronze medal in the women's +67kg division.
The 24-year-old hit back from a semi-final defeat to Shuyin Zheng to beat Morocco's Wiam Dislam 7-1 and follow team-mates Jade Jones and Lutalo Muhammad onto the podium.
But heavyweight Mahama Cho agonisingly failed to make it a clean sweep of medals when he was narrowly beaten by Brazil's Maicon Siqueira in their men's +80kg bronze medal match.
Walkden, the reigning world champion, admitted she had not even wanted to go out to fight for bronze after suffering the agony of a golden point loss to the Chinese fighter in the last four.
She said: "I did come here for gold and I didn't even want to go out there and fight for bronze. But my coach told me I still had to go for it because it's still an Olympic medal.
"I just went back out and tried to forget about what had happened. I thought this is it, start from scratch, and this is six minutes of my life to get an Olympic medal.
"I'm world champion and European champion and I did really want to get that gold. But now I will focus on doing even better in Tokyo - it's only four years away."
Walkden had been aiming to emulate her best friend and team-mate Jones, who won her second consecutive Olympic gold on Thursday.
The following day had brought further emotion for the British team when Muhammad came within a second of gold before being beaten by Cheick Sallah Cisse of the Ivory Coast.
Walkden had started her day with a dominant performance against Samantha Kassman of Papua New Guinea before beating reigning Olympic champion Milica Mandic in her second fight.
But she fell short against former world finalist Zheng and had to quickly regroup in order to salvage a medal against the Moroccan.
After having a first-round head kick ruled out following an appeal by her opponent's corner, Walkden piled on the pressure in the second to establish a 4-0 lead.
A second three-point kick early in the second effectively sealed a courageous bronze medal for the Liverpool fighter.
But there was despair for heavyweight Cho who, like Walkden, went into the bronze medal repechage after a last-four loss to Azerbaijan's Radik Isaev.
Leading for much of the contest, three late points turned the match in the Brazilian's favour and he triumphed 5-4 to the delight of the partisan home crowd.
Cho said: "I gave it my absolute everything and it's just disappointing not to come away with something for the hard work me and my team have done together.
"I wouldn't have counted on me being here but a lot of sacrifices were made to be here. But to lose in the dying seconds is heartbreaking.
"The team that was here are the most formidable team I have seen and I am exceptionally proud of everything they have managed to do here."
