A former Oxford schoolgirl has won bronze at the Olympic Games in Beijing.

Bryony Shaw, who attended Cheney School in Headington, scooped third place overall in the women's RS:X windsurfing this morning - Britain's first-ever women's medal in the sport.

The 25-year-old, who was making her Olympic debut, was a member of Oxford Sailing Club.
