GREAT Britain have continued their excellent recent form by collecting four medals at the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid.

Manchester's Krasimir Krastanov took gold in the 55kg category with a points victory over Germany's Tim Schleicher to add to the bronze medal he won last month in Sardinia.

Leon Rattigan, who also collected bronze last month, repeated the trick in the 96kg category in Spain, while Mohammadali Haghidoust also picked up bronze in the 74kg division.

"It was another terrific performance from our wrestlers, and to bring home four medals from a prestigious European tournament is a great result," said GB performance director Shaun Morley.

In the women's ranks, Jayne Clayson collected Great Britain's third bronze in the 55kg category.
