Dates G4 European Championships 2019 confirmed
Taekwondo Europe is in the final stage of negotiations with an interested host of the G4 European Championships 2019. According to Taekwondo Europe website, The event will take place from Friday 30th August – Sunday 1st September 2019. Functioning as a substitute for the European Games 2019, World Taekwondo allowed Taekwondo Europe to host one extra G4-ranking event during the year 2019. In analogy to the Asian Games for the continent of Asia, Europe had been missing out the possibility to have its athletes participating at a G4-ranking event. World Taekwondo gave ultimately the green light for Europe to have a substitute event, which will also include in total 5 weight divisions for male and 5 weight divisions for female category, summing up to 10 medal events. The decision was taken by World Taekwondo after the relevant request of Taekwondo Europe since similarly, the Asian Games included 5 male and 5 female weight divisions in total.
