Lee Da-bin grabbed a bronze medal in the women’s heaviest weight class in taekwondo Saturday, giving South Korea its third medal in its traditional martial art at the Paris Olympics.
Lee defeated Lorena Brandl of Germany 2-1 (4-2, 5-9, 13-2) in one of the two bronze medal contests in the women’s +67-kilogram event at Grand Palais in the French capital.
South Korea sent four taekwondo practitioners to Paris, and three of them came away with medals. Before Lee, Park Tae-joon won the men’s -58kg title, and Kim Yu-jin claimed gold in the women’s -57kg.
Seo Geon-woo lost in the bronze medal match for the men’s -80kg on Friday.
