World Taekwondo Extraordinary Council looks forward to bright future



October 21– The World Taekwondo Council met in London today for an Extraordinary meeting which covered a wide range of strategic areas as the federation continues to optimize the development of the sport and ensure the best competitions for its athletes.

World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue explained that good governance was a priority for the federation and an action plan was presented on how the federation intends to further improve its governance. Following the results of the ASOIF Good Governance survey, World Taekwondo has identified a series of reforms which will further enhance its governance with a particular focus on financial transparency.

The Council also received reports on a number of its competitions. The roadmap for Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games was presented, outlining the plans to maximize engagement in the build up to the Games and implementing reforms which will deliver the best Olympic competition. The standing procedures for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games were also addressed, with it reiterated that there will be 72 Para Taekwondo athletes in K44 (+K43) class competing across six medal events (three male and three female) in Tokyo. The competition will be held over three days with two medal events per day.

The other competition which was addressed was the inaugural Grand Slam Champions Series which was launched to take the elite sport to the next level and maximize media exposure. The innovative new competition will see the world’s best 12 fighters in each of the eight Olympic weight categories (four male and four female) battle it out for a new title and record prize-money.

Speaking after the meeting, World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue said:

“Today we have heard many excellent updates and reports which have given us great confidence that we are moving forward in the right direction.

Taekwondo’s future is even brighter than its past.

But we will not rest on our laurels. We will accelerate our efforts to innovate and evolve. We have so much to look forward to in the years ahead and by working together with the whole taekwondo family I have no doubt we will have great success.”
