Uzbekistan rounded off their home World Taekwondo Junior Championships in perfect style, as Mohidil Uktamjonova in the women’s -63kg and Asadbek Samandarov in the men’s -51kg won gold medals on the final day.

Their successes added to Yosinbek Odilov\u2019s triumph in the men’s -48kg on Monday, meaning the host nation finished with three golds.

The final gold medal of the World Taekwondo Junior Championships went to China\u2019s Zhao Siyi in the women’s -52kg.


Uktamjonova starts wild celebrations<\/strong>

There were wild celebrations at the Martial Arts Sports Complex after Uktamjonova completed a turnaround in the women’s -63kg final against Italy\u2019s Sofia Frassica.

The scoreless first round went the way of Frassica, but Uktamjonova hit back in the second to take it 5-1.

A hard-fought deciding round followed and it was Uktamjonova who, roared on by the home crowd, prevailed 3-1 to win the host nation\u2019s second gold medal of the championships.

It was the third time in the day Uktamjonova had recovered from losing the first round to win, having also done so in the round of 16 against Belarus\u2019 Anastasiya Kurylionak and the quarter-finals against Iran\u2019s Aynaz Mikaeili.

Croatia\u2019s Lorena Opa\u010dak and Belgium\u2019s Noa Beckers earned bronze medals.

Clean slate for Samandarov<\/strong>

Uzbekistan\u2019s memorable final day was completed by Samandarov, who triumphed over Tunisia\u2019s Malek Mokrani in the men’s -51kg final for their second gold of the day and their third from the World Taekwondo Junior Championships.

Samandarov\u2019s victory came without losing a round throughout the day, and he did not concede a point to Mokrani in the final, taking the first round 3-0 and the second 5-0 with a brilliant head kick to cap it off.

Bronze medals went to Thailand\u2019s Tanaphat Nithitbow and Kazakhstan\u2019s Adilet Sheri.


Siyi take the final gold<\/strong>

Siyi clinched the final gold medal of the Championships with an impressive victory over Serbia\u2019s Jana Djuranovic for China\u2019s third triumph in Tashkent.

A closely-contested first round was edged 2-1 by Siyi, before she pressed home her advantage in the second and took it 8-4 to celebrate gold.

Croatia\u2019s Lucija Kalic and Spain\u2019s Itziar Garcia Godoy completed the podium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
