Three of GB Taekwondo’s most experienced fighters have been selected to represent ParalympicsGB at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games this summer.
Amy Truesdale and Beth Munro both claimed medals when Para taekwondo made its debut at Tokyo 2020 – the pair will travel to the French capital alongside Paralympic Games debutant Matt Bush (pictured above), who missed out on competing in Japan due to injury.
“Our Paralympic Games team sets a high bar with the three selected athletes performing at the very top of the sport,” said Andy Paton, Team Leader for Para taekwondo.
“Matt and Amy go to the Games as world champions and Beth as Tokyo Games silver medallist, so medal success in Paris is not just our hope but our plan.
“I am proud to be the Team Leader for Para taekwondo at Paris 2024 and following the success of our first experience at the Tokyo Paralympics we are all very excited to be part of what will be a huge celebration of Paralympic sport.”
A total of around 230 athletes from 19 sports are expected to make up the British team that will compete in Paris, with further names to be announced by ParalympicsGB in the next few weeks.
