Anthony Obame made Olympic history for Gabon on Saturday when he reached the taekwondo heavyweight final and guaranteed a first ever medal for the African country. Obame stunned three-time world champion Bahri Tanrikulu of Turkey in the semi-finals with a last-second kick for a narrow 3-2 win. More history could be made if Mali’s Dada Modibo Keita wins the other semi-final against Italy’s Carlo Molfetta as his country is also searching for their first ever Olympic medal.
