Zaplitnyi, Chobotar, and Terliuga qualified as medallists of the 2023 World Karate Championships, while Talibov qualified through the ranking. Terliuga competed at her second Games and won her second medal. Talibov competed at his second Games (in 2022, he finished 4th).

In the semifinal, China's Wei was declared winner with score 9–1. However, the Ukrainian team filed a protest, claiming that Wei had violated the line at some point during the bout.[3] This protest was upheld, and Terliuga subsequently won the semifinal.
