Led by Luo Zongshi, world champion and current world No. 1 in the women's 57kg category, these young athletes have made their names on the world stage despite the lack of Olympic experience.

Liang Yushuai claimed the men's 63kg gold at the 2022 World Taekwondo Championships in Guadalajara, Mexico, while Song Zhaoxiang, Song Jie and Zhou Zeqi emerged victorious in their respective categories at the Hangzhou Asian Games.

"The competition will be intense, requiring top-notch levels of strength, speed, and adaptability," Liang noted. "The chances of victory are fleeting and uncertain. Now I need to put aside all the pressure and compete as a challenger, giving it my all in every kick, no matter who the opponent is."

On the contrary, 25-year-old Luo will face challenges from other athletes in Paris. She will focus on analyzing opponents, strengthening her advantages, polishing her match strategies during the final preparation stage.

Here is the taekwondo squad:
Women's 49kg: Guo Qing
Women's 57kg: Luo Zongshi
Women's 67kg: Song Jie
Women's +67kg: Zhou Zeqi
Men's 68kg: Liang Yushuai
Men's +80kg: Song Zhaoxiang
