Britain’s Mahama Cho claimed the gold medal in the men’s heavyweight on the final day of the World Taekwondo President’s Cup at the Telekom Dome in Bonn.

The British team were looking to claim their second gold medal of the weekend, following Bianca Walkden’s success in the women’s 73 kilogram event on Friday (April 8).

Cho closed on claiming the title in the men’s over 87kg event, after coming through a closely fought second round contest against Slovenia’s Ivan Trajkovic, via a golden point decision, on route to the final.

The 26-year-old, who was born in the Ivory Coast and who has represented both Britain and France, trailed in the early stages of his gold medal clash with Armenia’s Arman-Marshall Silla, but hit back to claim a 5-2 victory.

“I am always calm in those tough situations,” Cho, hoping to represent Britain in the heavyweight competition at Rio 2016, said. 

"I always try to find a solution to get round it and try not to panic.

“So, it’s nice to see what you are doing in training works in competition.”

Iran’s Sajjad Mardani and Russia’s Roman Kuznetsov claimed bronze medals following their semi-final defeats.

Britain were denied a third gold medal after Rachelle Booth fell to a golden point defeat to Turkey’s Irem Yaman in the women’s under 62kg event.

Yaman’s team-mate Tugba Ayva was awarded the first bronze medal in the division and Italy’s Daniela Rotolo secued the final podium place.

The Netherlands’ Reshmie Oogink earned the gold medal in the final women’s event of the weekend.

She triumphed 11-6 against Croatia’s Petra Matijashevikj in the under 73kg final.

Oogink had defeated Anastasiia Gurskaia 5-3 in the semi-final to leave the Russian to settle for the bronze medal.

Turkey’s Seyma Sogut added to her country’s medal tally by earning the remaining podium spot.

The final gold medal of the weekend was claimed by Serbia’s Damir Fejzic, following his 1-0 win over Croatia’s Toni Kanaet in the men’s under 74kg division.

Turkey’s Berkcan Sungu and Said Guliyev claimed the division’s bronze medals.

All of the gold medallists from the President’s Cup gained direct access to the 2016 European Taekwondo Union (ETU) Championships, due to take place from May 19 until 22 in Montreux in Switzerland.

More than 1,500 athletes are competed at the event, sanctioned by the World Taekwondo Federation but was organised by the ETU.
