Uzbek athlete wins Uzbekistan s first gold at Tokyo Olympic Games
AKIPRESS.COM - Nineteen-year-old Uzbek athlete Ulugbek Rashitov won a taekwondo gold at Tokyo Olympic Games.
Rashitov triumphed in a see-saw men s under-68 kilograms final against Britain s Bradly Sinden.
Momentum shifted back and forth, but it was the teenager who closed out a 34-29 victory thanks to a spinning head kick which snatched back the lead with fewer than 10 seconds left on the clock.
One of Rashitov s coaches was killed in June which made his victory over the world champion a poignant one. It was very hurtful, not only for me but for all the athletes, he said, after becoming Uzbekistan s first taekwondo medallist at the Olympics.
