History is made at the London 2012 Olympic Games as Rohullah Nikpah, who won Afghanistan's first ever Olympic Medal in Beijing 2008, wins Bronze once again in Men's Taekwondo -68kg repeating his feat from four years earlier.

Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art, which means "the way of kicking and punching". In taekwondo, hands and feet can be used to overcome an opponent, but the trademark of the sport is its combination of kick movements. Taekwondo is one of the two Asian martial arts included on the Olympic programme. Taekwondo made its debut as a demonstration Olympic sport at the 1988 Seoul Games, and became an official medal sport at the 2000 Sydney Games.
