Taekwondo, the main country that was humiliated by 'no gold' at the Tokyo Olympics, won an Olympic medal for the first time in eight years. In the men's 58kg final, Park Tae-joon beat Gashim Magomedov with an abstaining victory to reach the top. It is the first gold medal for Korean taekwondo in the 58kg class, which has rarely been linked to winning the Olympics. Park Tae-joon seemed less likely to participate in the Olympics just a year ago. Jang Joon (24), the standard-bearer of this weight class, held out, and Bae Jun-seo, the 58kg winner of last year's World Championship, was also not easy. He is Sindelera, produced by the World Grand Prix Challenge. He participated in the competition in June 2022 and won as a wide card for the Korea Taekwondo Association. She also won the Manchester Grand Prix series in a surprise move, making her presence known at international competitions. She emerged as a world-class athlete by winning the 54-kg class at the World Championships last year. [ko
