Competition format
The main bracket consisted of a single elimination tournament, culminating in the gold medal match. Two bronze medals were awarded at the taekwondo competitions. A repechage was used to determine the bronze medal winners. Every competitor who lost to one of the two finalists competed in the repechage, another single-elimination competition. Each semifinal loser faced the last remaining repechage competitor from the opposite half of the bracket in a bronze medal match.{{cite web|title=Taekwondo – Competition format|url=http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/taekwondo/insidethissport/format/newsid=102179.html#competition+format| publisher = NBC Olympics|accessdate=4 February 2013}}
