Seven GB Taekwondo athletes were selected to represent Team GB and Paralympics GB at the Games. The team’s performance highlighted the true nature of sport, delivering everything from dominant medal winning performances, the nervous tension of marginal wins and losses, moments of absolute elation, and the raw emotions of falling short. The team came away from the Games with one Silver and two Gold medals, having captured the imagination of new fans and earned respect of their performance both on and off the mat. In recognition, Matt Bush was selected to carry the GB flag at the Paralympic closing ceremony to bring Paris 2024 to a close.
In the Olympic competition:
• Caden Cunning, in his first Games, won the SILVER medal delivering dominant performances throughout, including a win against Rio 2016 Olympic Champion Cheik Sallah Cisse in the semi-final. Caden took the final fight into the third round before acknowledging the outcome and congratulating his opponent Iran’s Arian Salimi.
