Olympic News : Jade Jones admits she's feeling the pressure in quest for 3rd straight gold in Tokyo

Great Britain's Jade Jones has admitted she is feeling the pressure ahead of her bid to make history at the Olympic Games this summer. Jones, who won taekwondo gold at London 2012 and Rio in 2016, can become the first British female athlete to win gold medals at three successive Olympics in Tokyo. "It's obviously pressure because I really want to do it. I've done amazing in the past to win and perform on the day but I've got to stay focused to perform again," she said on Tuesday. Mahama Cho is also aiming for gold in Tokyo after finishing fourth in Rio five years ago. "Gold is the target. It's a bold thing to say but the only way I can erase that memory from 2016 is by going and getting a gold medal for my country," he said.
