Canada’s Skylar Park defeated Lebanon’s Laetitia Aoun to win the bronze-medal match in women’s -57kg taekwondo at the Olympic Games in Paris.
The 25-year-old from Winnipeg previously beat Turkey’s Hatice Kubra Ilgan 2-0 in a repechage round to advance. Park outscored Ilgan 6-4 in the first round and 3-2 in the second.
The Canadian lost her quarterfinal match to Kim Yujin of South Korea, but Kim reaching the final gave Park another chance at a medal via the repechage.
Park beat Dominika Hronova of Czechia 2-0 in her opening match at the Grand Palais.
More to come.
