Jade Jones confirms she will take part in European Games in Baku

Jones has been named an international athlete ambassador for the Games, which involve 20 sports and will take place from 12 to 28 June.

The 21-year-old was in action for the first time this year at the weekend, when she won a gold medal at the European Clubs’ Championship in Antalya.

Jones, who is also preparing for the WTF World Championships in May, said: "My aim is to do less competitions this year so I have got to try and nail the ones I’m involved in.

"It’s great to think I will be one of the faces of the Baku Games. It’s a brilliant honour not just for me but for the sport, and shows the profile is getting higher and higher.”
