Caroline Bartasek (born October 14, 1978 in Melbourne) is an Australian taekwondo practitioner, who competed in the women's welterweight category.[1] She represented her nation Australia in the 67-kg division at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, and also became a member of Black Taekwondo Club in Melbourne under head coach and master Rod Black.[2]

Bartasek qualified for her Aussie team in the women's welterweight class (67 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing third and granting a berth from the Asian Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Bangkok, Thailand.[3][4] She lost her opening match to Guatemala's Heidy Juárez with a score of 7–0. With Juarez losing her next bout to the local favorite Elisavet Mystakidou of Greece, Bartasek denied her chance to compete for an Olympic medal through the repechage.[5][6]

Caroline is a registered psychologist in Melbourne and is the founder of Performance Edge Psychology which delivers training and presentations to the corporate sector, sporting organisations, athletes and schools. [7]
