Eight Australians have been honoured at the Official Taekwondo Hall of Fame in New York. Hear from our President Jean Kfoury OAM congratulating his fellow inductees.
Victorian Bailey Lewis delivered an impressive performance at the Olympic Games, making a remarkable debut in the Taekwondo competition at the Grand Palais in Paris.
Lewis shone in the Round of 16, showcasing his skill and precision by defeating 18-year-old Nouridine Garba Issaka of Niger in a dominant 2-0 victory.
Advancing to the quarter-finals, Lewis faced a formidable opponent in Number 1 seed Mohamed Khalil Jendoubi of Tunisia, who would go on to win the bronze medal. Despite a tough contest, Lewis demonstrated his determination and resilience, fighting fiercely against the top-seeded competitor.
While he didn't advance further, Lewis's Olympic journey has been a testament to his talent and hard work. His efforts on the world stage have set a strong foundation for future competitions.
Australia returns to the mat today in the Women's -57 division, with fellow Victorian Stacey Hymer set to compete at 5:58 pm AEST.
You can follow all the Taekwondo action live on Stan Sport or Channel 9. For information about schedules and results, please visit the Paris Olympic website.
