2016 Rio Olympic Games in Brazil Aug 05-21,2016 - Ivory Coast's Cheick Sallah Cisse Wins Gold Medal in the Men's under-80kg Taekwondo Friday Aug 19,2016






Cheick Sallah Cisse was the toast of the Ivory Coast on Friday Aug 19,2016 as he won their first ever Olympic gold medal with a killer kick in the last second of the men's under-80kg taekwondo final.

Cisse created history for the West African country when he stunned third seed Lutalo Muhammad of Britain with a four-point score right at the death to win 8-6.

Tunisia's Oussama Oueslati and Milad Beigi Harchgani of Turkey won the bronze medals.

Ivory Coast's only previous Olympic medal was the silver won by Gabriel Tiacoh in the men's 400m at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.
