About Aaliyah Powell

Taekwondo Athlete

Aaliyah Powell is one of the UK's most talented and exciting stars of the future.

At age seven, Aaliyah went to a local Taekwondo club and after realising her talents she took the sport on with full confidence. Since then, Aaliyah has announced herself as a world class taekwondo fighter. In 2018 she won Gold at the World Junior Championships, then followed this up with a historic Bronze at the 2019 World Championships - becoming the youngest GB medallist at a senior World Champs.

Her story is not without trial though, and having overcome injury in 2020 - now aged 19, she is fully focused on making Olympic history when the Paris Olympics 2024 rolls around!

Away from sport - Aaliyah loves fashion, creativity, music and the arts! Sport is her first love, but bringing to life her creativity will certainly be her future!
