Ashour Zadeh Bags Gold at WTF World Taekwondo Grand Prix
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iran’s Farzan Ashour Zadeh clinched a gold medal at the 2015 WTF World Taekwondo Grand Prix Series 1 in Moscow, Russia, on Saturday evening.
In the men's -58kg division, the Iranian “Tsunami” Ashour Zadeh Fallah, one of the most dominant fighters on the circuit, took on Mexico's Carlos Navarro.
The match was almost point for point, until the Iranian pulled ahead in the final round, leading the Mexican to uncork a down-to-the-wire series of spinning kicks from the very edge of the mat.
But it was "The Tsunami" for the victory, taking the final 8-5 for the gold medal after an action-packed and highly entertaining fight.
The bronzes went to Germany's Levent Tuncat and Korea's Tae-hun Kim in the male -58kg category.
