The European continent swept the Taekwondo tests at the Olympic Games, thanks to the dominance of Russia, (Russian Olympic Committee), Croatia, Serbia and Italy, countries that accumulated five (05) gold medals out of eight (08) possible.
The Asian continent obtained two golds granted by Thailand and Uzbekistan, while America obtained one (01) gold through the United States.
The great and historic Taekwondo teams such as Korea, China, and Iran, failed to obtain gold medals, while the team where the best results were expected (Great Britain), only captured a silver and a bronze.
Africa also had a considerable downturn from the Rio 2016 Games, as the finalists of that tournament were left off the podium.
Korea and Spain also saw a decline from their historic results, in a tournament where youth and adaptation combined with boldness were shown to be a ticket to the podium.
Russia Power
Russia as the only team with two golds is positioned as the main Olympic power in this sport, as they obtained 4 medals out of five possible.
