Australia’s first ever World Champion – Steven Currie

Congratulations to Team Carlo’s Steven Currie who was this morning (Australian time) crowned Under 80kg Para Taekwondo World Champion!  What an amazing achievement for Steven who last year won a bronze medal.  This is a first for Australia and we are so very happy and proud for Steven.  We are yet to hear from Steven who is still in St Petersburg but have been able to retrieve his fight scores.

In his first match Steve drew the home country Russia but won convincingly 14 – 5.  In his second fight he beat Finland easily 18 – 6.  In his final against Iran, again Steve blitzed the scores 15 – 9.

Congratulations Steve on your amazing result and we look forward to hearing all about it when you return!
