Zehra Begüm Kavukcuoğlu Wins Silver at 2025 European U21 Taekwondo Championship

Max Potential athlete Zehra Begüm Kavukcuoğlu won a silver medal in the +73kg category at the 2025 European U21 Taekwondo Championship held in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo.

This medal in the European arena is becoming a habit for Kavukcuoğlu. Having won gold in the same category in Sarajevo in 2024, she once again earned a place on the podium — proving her remarkable consistency.

Also holding the title of 2025 World U21 Champion, Kavukcuoğlu has established herself as one of the brightest names in Turkish taekwondo this season, earning podium finishes at both World and European Championships.

We extend special thanks to WUP, Zehra Begüm's sponsor who has believed in and stood by her through this achievement. WUP's support brings great value in providing athletes with a professional environment beyond sport itself.

Continuing to professionalize her nutrition and mental performance management under the Max Potential umbrella, Kavukcuoğlu is preparing as a strong contender for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
