Back-to-back European champion Cyrian Ravet displayed his vast array of skills on his way to winning gold on his home floor at the Paris World Taekwondo Grand Prix.

The 19-year-old defeated the likes of Olympic bronze medallist Jang Jun, former European title winner Adrián Vicente Yunta and Olympic silver medallist Mohamed Khalil Jendoubi to claim the men's under-58 kilogram title.

After initially beating Israel's Dmitry Nagaev 2-0 and then Gorkem Polat of Turkey 2-1, Ravet met South Korea's Jung in the quarter-finals to the delight of the home supporters at the Parc des sports Marcel-Cerdan.

Ravet, with the raucous backing of his compatriots in the stands, swept aside the Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist with a 2-0 win after a crucial video replay was ruled in his favour.

The duel versus Yunta was a closer affair as the Spaniard jumped out to a 9-2 lead in the first round.

Nevertheless, Ravet used the energy of his home support to remarkably equalise and take the round.

Yunta fought back in the second but ultimately Ravet proved to be too strong in the decisive third and had to settle for bronze, alongside Australia's Bailey Lewis who lost 2-0 to Tunisia's Jendoubi.

In the final, Ravet recorded a last second point to claim a 2-0 victory and win his first Grand Prix gold.

Two-time Olympic champion Panipak Wongpattanakit of Thailand sealed her third Grand Slam gold medal in the women's under-49kg division after defeating Turkey's Merve Dincel 2-0.

Wongpattanakit comfortably took the first round before she showed overwhelming strength again in the second to secure the win.

The Thai fighter defeated South Korea's Bora Kang while Dincel edged Germany's Ela Aydin prior to the final bout, with both results ending 2-1.

Aydin's bronze was a landmark moment for her nation due to the fact it was her country's first Grand Prix event.

Neither could it be underscored as she went through Olympic silver medallist and Rome Grand Prix winner Adriana Cerezo of Spain to reach the semi-final.

The final gold medal of the day went to China's Luo Zongshi following her closely fought 2-0 win over Canada's Skylar Park.

This was Luo's third Grand Prix title while it was Park's first silver medal at the competition.

The bronze medals went to Morocco's Nada Laaraj and Zhou Lijun after they both lost 2-0 to Luo and Park respectively.

Earlier in the day, Tokyo 2020 winner Anastasija Zolotic of the US was shocked by Mexico's Fabiola Guadalupe Villegas, losing 2-0 in the round-of-16.

However, the 16th seed was unable to replicate her triumph versus Laaraj as the Moroccan won 2-1.

Two-time Olympic champion and fifth seed Jade Jones of Britain also suffered a day to forget as she was unable to reach the quarter-finals of the same division.

Iran's Nahid Kiyanichandeh swept her 2-0 to upset the Briton as the 12th seed.

The Paris World Taekwondo Grand Prix is scheduled to continue tomorrow with the men's under-68kg, men's under-80kg and women's under-67kg categories.
