Iran's Hadi Saei secured a tight 4–3 victory over Chinese Taipei's Huang Chih-hsiung to pick up the Olympic gold medal in the event, adding it to his bronze from Sydney four years earlier.[1][2] Meanwhile, South Korean taekwondo fighter Song Myeong-seob edged his worthy adversary Diogo Silva of Brazil 12–7 to score a bronze.[1]

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.
