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.[1]
