Early years and family life

Ekrem Boyalı was born on 15 July 1970 in Konya, Turkey. In 1998, Boyalı went to the United States to complete his university education.[2] Upon returning home after three years, he was appointed a lecturer at Selçuk University in Konya.[2] In 2009, he earned a PhD degree[3] in Exercise physiology from the Institute of Health Science at Selçuk University with a thesis on "The effect of vitamin E application on the levels of lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes and lactate during acute Taekwondo exercise".[4]

He is married with Ayşegül Ergin, also a world and European championship medalist.[5]

Sports career

He began with Taekwondo following the footsteps of his older brother Osman Boyalı in 1983.[2] After four years of hard training at his brother's sports club, he was admitted to the national team.[2][3] Later, he became captain of the Turkey team.[2]

At the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, he competed for Turkey, and became the runner-up after losing to Kim Byong-Cheol from South Korea in the final game.[2][6] The Taekwondo competitions were held as demonstration sport, and therefore no medals were awarded.

Boyalı served as coach of the Turkey national team after leaving the active sport.[2][7] Later, he coached the Bulgaria national team.[3][6]
