The central part of the medal is divided into two main sections. A white background forms the backdrop, while a striking black silhouette of a Taekwondo athlete executing a split-kick dominates the center. The words "PROGRESSIVE" and "TAEKWONDO" are inscribed around the edge of the white circle in bold, red capital letters. The word "PROGRESSIVE" curves along the top half of the circle, while "TAEKWONDO" arches along the bottom. The design is detailed, with a clear depiction of the athlete's form and the dynamic nature of the sport. A white ribbon is attached to the medal through a small loop at the top. This ribbon is made of a smooth, white fabric.
