Host Turkey finished at fourth with one gold, six silvers and three bronzes, while Vietnam ranked fifth in the overall medal tally with one gold, one silver and one bronze.

At the awarding ceremony, WTF President Chungwon Choue honored five best referees, who officiated at the 3rd WTF World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships.

The five referees were France’s Jong Wan Kim, Venezuela’s Maria Nelly Chacin, the United States’ Raymond Hsu, Korea’s Jin-beom Kim and Turkey’s Galip Ualcin Kaya.
