The official outlined his hopes for the Games in the French capital next year after Turkey won three gold medals at the World Championships in Baku in May and June.

Hakan Reçber won the men's under-63 kilograms title, Merve Dinçel captured the women's under-49kg crown and Nafia Kuş won the women's over-73kg gold.

This saw Turkey finish second on the medal table behind South Korea as they also added three bronzes.

Turkey topped the medal table at last year's European Championships in Manchester.

At the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Turkey won two bronze medals which is a figure they hope to improve on.

"We aim to maintain our success at the 2024 Paris Olympics," said Şahin, speaking at a youth taekwondo tournament in Erzurum to the Daily Sabah.

"All quota recipients are exceptionally talented athletes. 

"In the last World Championships, we saw that three of our athletes became world champions, making all of them strong Olympic medal contenders."

Şahin is also a member of the World Taekwondo Council.

"Securing a quota is a significant achievement, a very challenging feat in itself," he said.

"I believe those who can overcome this challenge are not only likely to succeed at the Olympics, but they can also reach the pinnacle. 

"I have faith in my athletes and coaches. 

"We say '2024 Paris Olympics, here we come' with excitement. 

"We aim to carry that excitement to the nation when we go there."
