Bradly John Sinden (born 19 September 1998) is a British Taekwondo athlete who won gold at the 2019 World Taekwondo Championships, becoming the first British male World Taekwondo champion. [1]

At the following 2020 Summer Olympics, he reached the final in his weight category where he won a silver medal, losing 34–29 against Ulugbek Rashitov. [2] Sinden's medal was the first medal guaranteed for Great Britain at the 2020 Summer Olympics when he qualified for the 68 kg final, although judoku Chelsie Giles was the first to actually have the colour of her medal confirmed and medal awarded.

He won the silver medal in the men's featherweight event at the 2022 World Taekwondo Championships held in Guadalajara, Mexico before taking his first European title in Manchester in 2022.

At the 2024 Summer Olympics, Sinden lost in the semis-finals and withdrew from his bronze medal match due to injury. [3]
