The London-based athlete previously secured gold at the 2017 German Open as a junior and more recently at the 2019 Polish Open.

Despite going out in the preliminary rounds, the major event proved to be a great experience for the youngster…as he went onto medal at the Croatian, Slovenian and Luxembourg Opens.
60 SECOND INTERVIEW
WHEN DID YOU START TAEKWONDO AND WHY?:
I started when I was seven-years-old because my Dad’s friend’s son used to do the sport at a really good level. I gave it a go and was hooked. To be honest, my confidence was quite low back then, I used to have a really bad stutter and with the help of Taekwondo/my teammates – it became better and I overcame it.
OTHER SPORTS PLAYED:
I used to be a track runner and would run the 1500, 800 and 3000 metres. I got gold in the borough championships and in Wandsworth, I came first. I also represented my borough in the London Youth Games.
AMBITION:
I want to become Olympic champion.
ROLE MODEL/FAVOURITE OTHER SPORTSMAN OR WOMAN:
Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, I really looked up to them when I was younger, as well as, Prince Naseem.
WHY SHOULD THE PUBLIC WATCH TAEKWONDO:
It’s a very vibrant sport, anything can happen. You could be winning but a knockout could come out of nowhere. It’s also very dynamic and enjoyable to watch.
IF SOMEONE GAVE YOU £1 MILLION, WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH IT:
I would invest in properties to get my assets up and whatever income I get from that, I would give most of it to my parents (around 70%) and keep the rest for me to live off.
SOMETHING YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT MOHAMMED NOUR:
I beat my school’s 1500 metres record for track running.
