The men's 58 kg competition in taekwondo at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney took place on September 27 at the State Sports Centre.

U.S. taekwondo jin Steven López came from behind in the final round to dodge a 1–1 draw and risk penalties for aggression over South Korea's Sin Joon-sik for the gold medal in the men's featherweight class.[1][2] Meanwhile, Iranian fighter Hadi Saei edged his Turkish-born Austrian opponent Tuncay Çalışkan 4–2 to earn a bronze.

Competition format

The main bracket consisted of a single elimination tournament, culminating in the gold medal match. The taekwondo fighters eliminated in earlier rounds by the two finalists of the main bracket advanced directly to the repechage tournament. These matches determined the bronze medal winner for the event.[3]
