Russian and Belarusian participation edit
- a^ In accordance with sanctions imposed following by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, taekwondo athletes from Russia and Belarus were not permitted to use the name, flag, or anthem of Russia or Belarus. They instead participated as "Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN)", their medals were not included in the official medal table. In general, 23 Russian and Belarusian athletes were allowed to compete in the event as Individual Neutral Athletes following the International Olympic Committee recommendations, while two Russian athletes (2020 Olympic Champions Maksim Khramtsov and Vladislav Larin) were barred due to their explicit support for the invasion.[4] Nevertheless, in protest against participation of Individual Neutral Athletes, the Ukrainian team withdrew from the championships. In general, Individual Neutral Athletes won 1 gold, 1 silver and 5 bronze medals: athletes from Russia (Kristina Adebaio, Kadyrbech Daurov, Polina Khan, Liliia Khuzina and Tatiana Minina) won 1 gold and 4 bronze medals while athletes from Belarus (Georgi Gurtsiev and Artsiom Plonis) – 1 silver and 1 bronze medal.
