Lutalo Muhammad (born 3 June 1991) is a British retired taekwondo athlete who represented Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics, winning a bronze medal, and the 2016 Summer Olympics, winning a silver medal.
[3] Muhammad won the gold medal in the −87 kg class at the 2012 European Taekwondo Championships.
[citation needed] The decision drew criticism from former athletes such as John Cullen and Steve Redgrave.
[6] GB performance director Gary Hall defended his selection and said "Aaron has a bigger marketing machine than the whole of GB Taekwondo", whilst fellow taekwondo competitor Sarah Stevenson dismissed the world rankings as inconsequential.
[7] Muhammad stated that "Unfortunately with the nature of sport there are always going to be winners and losers so I wish him all the best for his future, but my focus right now is not Aaron Cook, it's a gold medal in London.
