Park Tae-joon captured gold in the lightest division in men's taekwondo on Wednesday for South Korea's first title in its traditional martial at the Paris Olympics. Park defeated Gashim Magomedov of Azerbaijan 2-0 (9-0, 13-1) in the men's -58-kilogram final at Grand Palais in Paris on the first day of the taekwondo competition. Earlier in the day, Park knocked off world No. 1 from Tunisia, Mohamed Khalil Jendoubi, in the semifinals to set up a duel against Magomedov. Park then grabbed his first career gold after Magomedov withdrew with 1:02 left in the second round due to injury. This is South Korea's 12th gold medal of the Paris Olympics, one shy of its Summer Games record with four days left. Source : Yonhap News Agency
