Seo Gun-woo Fails to Reach Men's 80kg Final for First Time in History

 



South Korean men's taekwondo heavyweight KANPAN Seo Gun-woo (21, Korea National Taekwondo Team) fell short in his bid to reach his first ever final.


The world No. 4 Seo fell 1-2 (4-2 9-13 8-12) to world No. 8 Mehran Barghourdari (IRAN) in the quarterfinals of the men's under-80 kg taekwondo event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, on Tuesday afternoon (ET).


Seo took a cautious approach to the match, keeping things close in the early stages. The first point came at the 1:30 mark. Seo aimed for the body and exchanged two points with Barhordari.


Soon after, Seo scored with a spinning kick to take the first round.


The second round was a different story. Barjordari came out aggressively and scored back-to-back heads to take a 4-9 lead. At the end of the second round, his movements slowed down and he lost his focus, tying the round 1-1.


The third and final round. Barjordari went on the offense first and took the lead, and after a video review (IVR) he was down 0-5 with a head attack.


He fought back with a kick with 30 seconds 토토사이트 추천 left, but ran out of time and lost the point.


Earlier, Seo defeated 24th-ranked Joaquin Chercil Martinez of Chile in the round of 16 with a round score of 2-1 (6-8 16-16 14-1), and then defeated 23rd-ranked Enhiki Marques Rodrigues Fernandes of Brazil in the quarterfinals with a round score of 2-0 (4-4 2-2).


Seo is the first Korean to qualify for the Olympic Games in the men's 80kg category since taekwondo became an official sport at the Sydney 2000 Games.


He will compete in the bronze medal bout tomorrow (Tuesday) at 3:35 a.m.


Seo showed promise with a silver medal at the Riyadh World Grand Prix Challenge in 2022, and has since emerged as a force in the weight class, winning gold at the World Taekwondo Grand Prix Final in Manchester last year and gold at the U.S. Open Taekwondo Championships this year.


For the second consecutive day, South Korean taekwondo has won gold medals at the Games.


Park Tae-joon (Kyung Hee University), who competed in the men's 58kg and under division on August 8, and Kim Yoo-jin (Ulsan Metropolitan Sports Association), who competed in the women's 57kg and under division this morning, won back-to-back gold medals.

World No. 4 Seo lost his quarterfinal match against world No. 9 Mehran Barghourdari of Iran, 1-2 (4-2, 9-13, 8-12), in the men's 80-kilogram taekwondo event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, on Monday afternoon (Feb. 9), dropping him to the bronze medal match instead of the final. Starting in Paris, the sport of taekwondo will have a new rule.

Points were accumulated in the third round until the overtime period, but this rule changed at the Paris Games.
