Francis Aaron Agojo of Ateneo dished out a dominating performance en route to winning a gold medal in the 13th World University Taekwondo Championships Tuesday night in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China.
Agojo, a silver medalist in last year’s Southeast Asian Games and Asian Youth Games, beat Turkey’s Ibrahim Ether Pak by knockout to capture the mint in the kyorugi men’s -54kg hostilities.
On his way to the finals, the jin from Quezon City made shortwork of American Joseph Aguon, 14-2 (win by point gap) then outlasted Nakagawa Takaya of Japan in sudden death, 2-1.
