UNSTOPPABLE

PAT BROWN heads to the Olympics next month feeling unstoppable after powering to Grand Prix goldinthe Czech Republic.

Great Britain sent all six Olympians to Usti nad Labem and Brown, Delicious Orie and Charley Davison came back with golds.

Orie was handed a bye through to the super-heavyweight final, where he faced Omar Shiha (Norway). Orie had outpointed Shiha in the European Games on the way to qualifying and won a 3-2 split when they met again.
