Mahama Cho intends to repay the faith shown in him when he flies the flag for Great Britain in this weekend’s European Olympic qualification tournament in Istanbul.

Team GB have already secured three quota places in three weight categories for this year’s Olympic Games in Rio through Jade Jones, Bianca Walkden and Lutalo Muhammad – the latter having won last month’s World Taekwondo Grand Prix final series in Mexico.

A fourth spot could be attained on Sunday if heavyweight Cho reaches the final of the +80kg weight division.

And after being chosen by GB Taekwondo as the one to lead the line, the 2015 US Open silver medallist intends to keep his cool and rise to the challenge ahead.

“I have read a lot of books and philosophies on how to get your mind right,” he told GB Taekwondo.
