The men's 80 kg competition in taekwondo at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens took place on August 26 at the Faliro Coastal Zone Olympic Complex.

Moving up to 12 kg heavier than his weight in Sydney four years earlier, U.S. taekwondo jin Steven López defied his odds to crush and heavily kick Turkey's Bahri Tanrıkulu with a score 3–0 for his second Olympic gold.[1][2] Iran's Yousef Karami rallied for a tight 9–8 victory over Azerbaijan's Rashad Ahmadov to grab the bronze medal.[3]

Competition format

The main bracket consisted of a single elimination tournament, culminating in the gold medal match. The taekwondo fighters eliminated in earlier rounds by the two finalists of the main bracket advanced directly to the repechage tournament. These matches determined the bronze medal winner for the event.[4]
