Ireland’s Jack Woolley missed out on a quarter-final spot in the men’s 58kg Taekwondo at the Olympic Games in Paris after defeat by Azerbaijan’s Gashim Magomedov.
Magomedov took a 2-0 victory over Woolley in a best-of-three-rounds bout at the Grand Palais, scoring 4-7 in round 1 and 7-12 in round two.
Woolley, 25, who is now a two-time Olympian, must wait to see how far his opponent Magomedov progresses to earn a potential spot in the repechage and a pathway to a bronze medal match.
Magomedov will face Spain’s Adrian Vincente Yunta at 14:32 BST.
In 2021, Tallaght man Woolley made history becoming Ireland’s first ever Taekwondo Olympian at the Tokyo Games but finished 11th overall after a close first-round encounter with Lucas Gomez of Argentina.
