Competition format

The competition was held in a partial double-elimination format.

The main bracket consisted of a single elimination tournament, culminating in the gold medal match.

Two bronze medals were awarded at the Taekwondo competitions. A second repechage bracket was used to determine the bronze medal winners. Every competitor who lost to one of the two finalists competed in the repechage, again in single-elimination competition. Each semifinal loser faced the last remaining repechage competitor from the opposite half of the bracket in a bronze medal match.
