Four Australians competed at the Paris Grand Prix, one of the toughest events on the World Taekwondo calendar.

It was great to have @mattysummerfield and @xaviernikolovski both make their Grand Prix debuts, a reward after some good results in 2026.

Summerfield started off with a bang winning the opening round of his first GP match by point gap before his opponent made a respectable comeback. A strong start at this level for Matty nevertheless.

Nikolovski has had the breakout in 2026 we have been hoping for, he now knows where he needs to be to take his game to the next level.

@aiden.stilleh pushed hard through a tough contest, taking some great learnings out of this GP.

@gabyblewitt leaves Paris hungrier than ever to come back stronger.

Well done to all four athletes representing Australian at such a major event.
