MUJU, Korea (Sep 7, 2024) – Rwanda, Mexico, France, Kazakhstan, and Australia secured victories in individual events on the second day of the Muju Taekwondowon 2024 World Taekwondo Octagon Diamond Game.

The Octagon Diamond Games differs from traditional Taekwondo competitions and is held in an arena enhanced by spectacular lighting and stage effects. 

Designed in the shape of an octagon with a 45-degree sloped surface, the matches in the trench-like surface follow a best-of-three system with each round lasting two minutes. 

Each individual starts with 150 points per round, and the goal is to reduce the opponent's power bar first to claim victory.

Over 110 athletes are competing and tomorrow, the final day, will feature the pairs competition.
