Xinhua News Agency, Taiyuan, October 11 (Reporters Niu Mengtong and Liu Yangtao) The Taiyuan Station of the World Taekwondo Grand Prix will continue on the 11th. Players from South Korea, Tunisia and Serbia each won a gold medal. The players of the Chinese team who played that day were in poor condition and failed to enter the quarterfinals of each level.
In the men’s 80kg final, Tunisia’s Firas Katusi faced South Korea’s Xu Jianyou.

In addition, South Korean player Chen Haojun defeated his French opponent in straight games and won the gold medal in the men’s 68kg class. Liang Yushuai and Xiao Chenming sent by the Chinese team missed the quarterfinals; Serbian player Alexandra Perisic won the women’s 67kg class , the Chinese team player Zhang Mengyu stopped in the top 16, and Song Jie, who won the gold medal at the Rome Grand Prix and the Hangzhou Asian Games, suffered a first-round elimination.
