Vaughn Scott (born 11 January 1990, Cape Town) is a male Taekwondo fighter who represented New Zealand at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London in the Men's 80kg weight class.[1][2] He lost his first round fight to Argentine Sebastián Crismanich by a score of 9–5.[3] Because Crismanich went on to win the gold medal, Scott was included in the repechage and lost his fight to Afghan Nesar Ahmad Bahave by a score of 11–6, and was eliminated from the Olympic tournament.[4]
In competition to qualify for the 2016 Olympics, Scott lost to Hayder Shkara, the same fighter he defeated to qualify for the 2012 games.[5]
