Taekwondo Coach Oh Hye-ri Furious At Declaration Of Defeat – Corrects Misjudgment

World No. 4 Seo Kun-woo won the round-score 2-1 (6-8 16-16 (high-level Seo Kun-woo’s victory) 14-1 in a showdown with world No. 24 Joaquin Churchill (Chile) in the men’s 80kg round-of-16 match at the 2024 Paris Olympics at Grand Palais in Paris, France, at 4:21 p.m. on the 9th (Korean time). With this, Seo made it to the quarterfinals.

The new rules will apply to taekwondo from the Paris Olympics. Until the last Tokyo Olympics, taekwondo had three rounds of matches for two minutes each, and if it fails to determine the winner, it had to proceed with the fourth round in overtime to select the winner. Although taekwondo had accumulated points through extra time in the third round, the rules have been changed since the Paris Olympics.

The rules for three rounds of two minutes are the same, but the points for each round are not accumulated. At the end of each round, the next round is played 0-0, and if you win two of the three rounds first, you win. If the gold point system is deleted and the score is tied in each round, technical points are applied and the player who has tried more high-level skills has the upper hand.

Seo met Churchil in the round of 16. Contrary to expectations, he seemed nervous and allowed Churchil to attack consecutively, losing the first round 6-8. He also trailed 6-15 with about a minute left in the second round.

However, Seo made the final spurt. He scored in a row at the end of the second round to tie the score at 16-16. Seo made more difficult attacks and won. It was a dramatic come-from-behind victory.

Suddenly, the umpire declared victory for Churchil over Seo. It was a wrong judgment. Seo immediately filed a complaint with the umpire. Despite this, the umpire looked stern.

Coach Oh Hye-ri jumped into the stadium to the umpire. She protested fiercely and demanded a video review. Due to Oh’s aggressive response, the umpires reviewed the video for a long time, and the result was corrected to Seo Kun-woo’s victory in the second round.

After returning from hell, Seo won 14-1 in the third round thanks to coach Oh Hye-ri. Oh finally smiled to her heart’s content. It was coach Oh who defended Seo’s victory.
