Three of the four athletes who represented Australia at last year's Olympic Games have been selected on the country's team for the 2017 World Taekwondo Championships in Muju.

Taekwondo Australia have revealed a 16-strong squad for the event in the South Korean city, due to run from June 24 to 30 at the Taekwondowon.

Caroline Marton, who was knocked out in the round-of-16 of the under-57 kilograms division at the Games, is the only Rio 2016 Olympian not chosen to take part at the event.

Her sister Carmen is set to compete in the 57kg weight category having dropped down from the 67kg division and appears to have replaced her sister as Taekwondo Australia's representative in the competition.

She also failed to make it past the first round at the Games in the Brazilian city.

Safwan Khalil was Australia's most successful taekwondo player at Rio 2016 as he reached the quarter-finals of the under-58kg event, where he was beaten by Tawin Hanprab of Thailand.

The Pacific Games flyweight gold medallist will be Australia's competitor in the men's under-58kg competition in Muju.

Hayder Shkara is also set to participate in a lighter category than in Rio as he has moved down from under-80kg to under-74kg.

Shkara was unable to go any further than the round of 16 at the Olympic Games.

"We are very excited with the Australian team training hard and about to leave mid next month for the World Senior Taekwondo Championships which will be held from 24-30 June in Muju," Taekwondo Australia said in  a statement.

"We wish the team all the very best for a successful competition."
