"Back in my days as the university taekwondo club chairlady in 1997-98, we could only dream of having an Olympic-level athlete represent our sport on the global stage. Fast forward to today, and I'm amazed to see how far taekwondo has come, with Hong Kong now producing world-class competitors at the Olympics. It's truly remarkable to witness this incredible evolution and growth of the sport. #Taekwondo #Olympics"

Pathway to Paris 2024: Taekwondo Qualification System Explained Read More: https://lnkd.in/e8uVaMHw Introduction: As we eagerly anticipate the highly anticipated Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the world of taekwondo is buzzing with excitement. For athletes aspiring to qualify for this prestigious event, understanding the qualification system is paramount. In this blog, we will delve into the Taekwondo qualification system for Paris 2024, unraveling the process and shedding light on the steps necessary to secure a spot in the Games. Olympic Weight Categories: The first aspect to comprehend is the weight categories that athletes must compete in. Taekwondo at the Paris 2024 Olympics will feature a total of five weight divisions for both men and women, ranging from Flyweight to Heavyweight. Athletes need to ensure they meet the weight requirements for their desired category to be eligible for qualification. Olympic Ranking System: The qualification process for taekwondo at Paris 2024 relies on the Olympic Ranking System. Athletes accumulate ranking points by participating in and achieving favorable results at specific international competitions recognized by the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). The higher an athlete's ranking, the greater their chances of securing a spot...

Last night, I watched the Men's 58 KG Taekwondo final of the 2024 Paris Olympics—the same weight class I competed in during the 1988 Olympics but lost in the first round. Yes, I was that skinny back then! 😅 A few fun facts you might not know: 1. In 1988 when I was competing in the Olympics, Taekwondo was just a demonstration sport. It took 12 more years for it to become an official Olympic event at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. 2. Many factors determine if and when a demonstration sport becomes official, including equal opportunities for both genders, inclusivity, a trial period to gauge interest, and—most importantly—its "appeal and marketability," meaning it needs to attract enough live audience and strong viewership. 3. While Taekwondo originated in Korea, they don't always win. In fact, Korea didn’t win any gold medals in Taekwondo at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Even last night’s 58 KG match marked the first time Korea won gold medal in this weight category. This got me thinking about the parallels between sports and innovation again. Innovation, much like Olympic sports, can come from anywhere, and leadership can also emerge from anywhere, regardless of where something originates and who used to dominate. Looking at the big picture and in the long run, whether in sports or innovation, it needs to be global, inclusive, and beneficial to the majority. And in the end, the market has the final say. Do you agree? #Paris2024 #Olympics #Innovation #Globalization #Sports

As I mentioned in the abstract of my master's thesis, the static and dynamic balance types of athletes competing in the poomsae and kyorugi categories of taekwondo differ. In conclusion, athletes competing in the poomsae category appear to have fewer problems with balance.

I am very Excited to announce my successful completion of the Taekwondo Referee Exam🥋 This achievement reflects my dedication to Taekwondo and commitment to fair play. Ready to uphold integrity, impartiality, and precision in every match.🎗️Excited 🎉for the opportunities to contribute to the growth and development of Taekwondo as a referee.🏆 Challenged yourself with a test that pushes you beyond the point where you want to quit. A test that requires you to never give up. Perhaps a test that musters all the mental strength to overcome your body saying 'stop'. These tests don't need to be through Taekwondo arts. These tests are situations were there is a difficulty that you must face, overcome, and triumph over. Or, even better, you've come out on the other side; stronger and wiser.💥🎊🥳 Find a means to put yourself to the test. Train for something that takes you out of your comfort zone. Something that pushes you to the point where you want to quit, and then you keep going. #Taekwondo #Referee #FairPlay #Integrity #Commitment #Sportsmanship #Growth #Development #Goal
