The men's 58 kg competition in taekwondo at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing took place on August 20 at the Beijing Science and Technology University Gymnasium.[1]
The main bracket consisted of a single elimination tournament, culminating in the gold medal match. Two bronze medals were awarded at the taekwondo competitions. A repechage was used to determine the bronze medal winners. Every competitor who lost to one of the two finalists competed in the repechage, another single-elimination competition. Each semifinal loser faced the last remaining repechage competitor from the opposite half of the bracket in a bronze medal match.[2]
