Robelis Despaigne (CUB) is awarded the bronze medal in the men's +80kg taekwondo event after Daba Modibo Keita (MLI) has to withdraw from the contest at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art, which means "the way of kicking and punching". In taekwondo, hands and feet can be used to overcome an opponent, but the trademark of the sport is its combination of kick movements. Taekwondo is one of the two Asian martial arts included on the Olympic programme. Taekwondo made its debut as a demonstration Olympic sport at the 1988 Seoul Games, and became an official medal sport at the 2000 Sydney Games.
