Aaron Cook Biography

Aaron Cook is one of the most popular and richest Athlete who was born on January 2, 1991 in Dorchester, United Kingdom. Competing for Moldova at the 24th Zagreb Open in Croatia, Cook won Gold after beating Luka Horvat 24-7 in the Male -80kg Final. This result was closely followed by a dominant display at the 14th French Open in Paris in which Cook once again claimed Gold in the -80kg male final by beating Maxime Potvin of Canada 19-15.

Later in his debut year, Cook qualified for a spot on the British team for the 2008 Olympic Games by competing at the 2007 World Qualification Tournament held at the MEN Arena in Manchester. In the first round he faced Ireland’s Sean Joyce and won 9–2. He then won with the same score against Switzerland’s Markus Jiskra. In the last 16, Cook faced Philippines’ Alexander Briones and won with a score of 5–2. In the quarter-finals, Cook’s tournament ended in a 5–3 defeat to the 6 ft 5in Italian Mauro Sarmiento.

Cook represented the Isle of Man for the first time at the 2013 Swedish Open, going on to win the gold medal in the −80 kg category. Competing for the Isle of Man, Cook won the gold medal at the Pan American Open in Mexico in 2013 by beating Beat Mexico 15–3, Canada 16–4, USA 14–5 and Costa Rica in final 12–3. He was also awarded best fighter in the tournament. At the end of 2013, Cook again regained the world no. 1 ranking in the −80 kg division. In 2014, Cook won the −80 kg title at the European Championships for the third time, beating Britain’s Damon Sansum in the final.

After defeat his semi-final defeat, Cook faced Zhu Guo of China in the bronze medal match. Cook lost the match 4–1. He was baffled that the British supporting team did not make an appeal during the first round of the bout when the judges missed a clear offensive kick which connected with the Chinese fighter’s head which would have given Cook a 2–1 lead. Cook was later penalised a point for receiving two warnings. Cook’s coach Nelson Miller told the press that he thought the Chinese fighter’s decisive score had come after the buzzer. After the bout, Cook was quoted as saying: “I am so gutted. I came so close. I thought the scoring was absolutely horrendous. I don’t know what the judges were looking at, they must have been looking in the crowd. I never tried so much in a match, and it still wasn’t enough, and then I didn’t know what I had to do. I am miles better than that guy. The crowd didn’t affect me, but it must have affected the scoring. I can’t believe the scoring. Words can’t explain how absolutely gutted I am to come so close to a medal. I had the right tactics. I’d have been five to six points ahead in any other taekwondo fight.”

At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Cook began by defeating Anju Jason of the Marshall Islands 7–0 in his first match. The second match was against a stronger competitor, but he defeated Carlos Vasquez of Venezuela 5–2. In the semi-finals Cook lost to Italy’s Mauro Sarmiento. Cook and Sarmiento had been tied 5–5 with going into the last 10 seconds of the bout, but Sarmiento scored a crucial late strike to win 6–5.

Aaron Arthur Cook (born 2 January 1991) is a British-born Moldovan taekwondo athlete, who has been ranked the number one in the men’s −80 kg division on several occasions. He is a three-time European champion having won the −80 kg title at the European Taekwondo Championships in 2010, 2012 representing Great Britain and 2014 representing the Isle of Man, and was the world junior champion in the −78 kg division in 2008.

Cook made his breakthrough into senior competition at the 2007 Dutch Open Championships, held in Eindhoven, at the age of 16. He took bronze in his debut senior competition, losing to French athlete Torann Mazeroi 12–10 in the semi-finals.

He represented Great Britain in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, where he reached the semi-final and was narrowly defeated in the bronze medal match. He was controversially left out of the British team for the 2012 Olympic Games in London despite being the world no. 1-ranked competitor in the −80 kg division when the British Taekwondo Control Board selected Lutalo Muhammad (who was ranked world no. 59 in −80 kg and world no. 7 in −87 kg). Following this, Cook indicated he could no longer work with the governing authorities in Great Britain, and switched allegiance to the Isle of Man. This move to a non- Olympic nation ostensibly allowed Cook to achieve qualification for the 2016 Summer Olympics for Great Britain, the country for which Isle of Man athletes participate at the Olympics.
