RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The country that created taekwondo can still dominate.
Oh Hye-ri won the women's 67-kilogram division at the Olympics on Friday, giving South Korea its second gold medal of the Rio de Janeiro Games.
Oh beat top-seeded Haby Niare of France in the final. Although she didn't score until the second round, Oh quickly landed numerous head shots within about 30 seconds to win 13-12.
The 28-year-old Oh also dominated her quarterfinal match against Chuang Chia-Chia of Taiwan, a fight that was stopped after Oh racked up an insurmountable 21-9 lead.
Oh previously competed in a heavier weight division, winning a world championship title.
