Spinning kicks in Para-taekwondo to be awarded four points
Aug 2017
Spinning kicks in Para-taekwondo will now be awarded four points after the sport's International Federation passed a rule change.
World Taekwondo made an amendment to the scoring tally for completing the move during a match.
It used to be worth three points, but a decision was taken to up the amount to four with the aim to encourage Para-taekwondo players to attempt the kick more often.
The change comes under article 13.3.3 of the Para-taekwondo competition rules, which now reads: "Four points will be awarded for a valid spinning technique to the trunk protector."
