Dumbarton kickboxing star Maia Bisley made history after becoming one of the first British females to win four medals at a European Championship.

The 13-year-old Dumbarton Academy pupil took success in the points fighting, light-contact and kick-light categories at the showcase event in Istanbul – earning her a call-up to Kickboxing GB’s older cadets, who won the teams section.

That meant that Maia and GB team-mate Summer Harvey made history as the first two females to ever win four golds at a European Championship - putting them in an elite group with 14-time world champion Elijah Everill, the only other British fighter to achieve the quadruple.

And mum Kim said that she couldn’t contain her emotions, as she watched on YouTube from the family’s Glasgow cafe. Kim told the Lennox: “I couldn’t put into words how emotional I was.
