Terrence Jennings (born July 28, 1986) is an American taekwondo practitioner. He began competing internationally in 2003 and qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[3] At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he qualified for the repechage in the 68 kg lightweight division by losing to the eventual gold medalist Servet Tazegül. Jennings won one of two bronze medals in that division by landing a three-point headshot with the score tied and one second left in the bronze medal match against Diogo Silva of Brazil. The other bronze medal in the division was awarded to Rohullah Nikpai.[4]
