Kim Yu-jin grabbed a stunning gold medal in women's taekwondo at the Paris Olympics on Thursday for South Korea's second title in two days in its traditional martial art. Kim defeated world No. 2 Nahid Kiani of Iran 2-0 (5-1, 9-0) in the final of the women's -57-kilogram at Grand Palais in the French capital. Kim, world No. 24, defeated four of the top five athletes in her weight class for the shock medal in her Olympic debut. The taekwondo competition began Wednesday with South Korea's Park Tae-joon winning gold in the men's -58kg. Kim's was the 13th gold medal for South Korea in Paris, which ties the country's record for a Summer Games. South Korea also won 13 gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and equaled that total four years later in London. Source: Yonhap News Agency
