In the event of a tie, Hyejin Park was able to win both rounds against Thailand’s Chutikhan Jongkolatanawatana in accordance with the rules that determine the winner by counting rotation techniques, head and body attack attempts, etc.
This is the first time that Park Hye-jin has stood on top of the podium at a large international competition.
Park Hee-jin competed in the 2022 World Taekwondo Championships held by the World Taekwondo Federation (WT) in November last year, but she was knocked out in the quarterfinals.
