Great Britain's women's flag football team narrowly lost to Mexico 20-19 in the bronze-medal match at the World Championships, missing out on Olympic qualification for the 2028 Games. Despite a strong performance from Emily Kemp, who scored two touchdowns, the team could not secure the win after a late two-point conversion attempt fell just short.
The defeat follows a semi-final loss to the USA, who will automatically qualify for the Olympics as hosts. GB's head coach expressed pride in the team's competitive spirit, noting their ability to challenge top-ranked teams.
