South Korea’s Lee Dae-Hoon won a second successive Male Athlete of the Year accolade in chaotic fashion at the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) Gala Awards ceremony here this evening.

Most medal winners at this weekend’s World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) Grand Prix Finals were naturally preoccupied with end of season celebrations following their competitions, or with watching their team-mates while finding somewhere to deposit the large sombreros awarded as part of the podium ceremony.

I was somewhat surprised, therefore, to spot China’s under 49 kilograms champion Wu Jingyu handing out a flyer covered with pictures of her alongside the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, Thomas Bach, the morning after her victory.

The latest chapter in one of sport's bitterest rivalries unfolded here today at the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) Grand Prix Final as Britain's Lutalo Muhammad overcame former team-mate Aaron Cook, now fighting for Moldova.

Portugal’s Rui Braganca claimed the men’s under 58 kilogram gold medal on day two of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) Grand Prix Series 2 here after overcoming Germany’s Levent Tuncat, widely considered one of the most exciting fighters on the sport’s circuit.
