Aaron Cook had to settle for silver when he was pipped in the final of the Dutch Open on Saturday.
Cook, representing the Isle of Man Taekwondo Federation, took an early 2-0 lead against world silver medallist Yunus Sari of Turkey.
The World University champion though pegged Cook back and edged in front in a cagey affair, ultimately winning by a single point.
Cook will soon be back in action at the Belgian Open as he continues his preparations for the World Championships in Mexico in July.
