Panipak Wongpattanakit

Panipak Wongpattanakit might be nicknamed “Tennis”, but it’s taekwondo she excels at. Consistently among the highest-ranked athletes in the sport, she broke through with her victory at the 2015 World Taekwondo Championships, winning the event again in 2019, and also notching up golds in the World Taekwondo Grand Slam, the Asian Games and, in 2021, her crowning glory: the Olympics, where she was Thailand’s only gold medallist.
