EP3: Beth Munro: The Scouse Taekwondo star on meteoric rise, Paralympic silver and future world domination

  • Summary

  • Liverpool's Beth Munro has taken the Taekwondo world by storm since her arrival in the sport in 2020.

    But ultimately, this girl from Litherland, has her eyes firmly set on winning the gold medal at Paris 2024.
