WTF Media Kit for London 2012 Olympic Games 2 Welcome from the President Dear Colleagues of the Media, For the world’s greatest athletes, the Olympics Games is the pinnacle of their dreams. However, the Olympic dream also lives in the hearts of people all around the world. This is a dream that inspires men and women, young and old, from every culture and religion towards excellence, and proves that the capacity of the human spirit is limitless. Taekwondo is a perfect example of how sport benefits society, propelling individuals towards a life of excellence. Since its debut at the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games, taekwondo has been transformed into one of the most popular sports in the world. With seventy million practitioners worldwide and two hundred and two member nations actively participating in WTF sanctioned events, taekwondo is flourishing in countries where other major sports struggle to take root. It also serves as a platform for nations who may struggle to shine in other sports to achieve their Olympic hopes and dreams. The passion that sport brings to the lives of Olympians has an impact on the world around them. It is crucial that their dreams are not tarnished so that they may spread the values of Olympism to their communities and nations. It is for this reason that the WTF has done its utmost to ensure that the London 2012 Olympic Games are as fair and transparent as possible, by introducing instant video replay and the electronic protector scoring system (PSS). Furthermore, the referees here in London have gone through extensive and intensive training to remove any possibility of human error. One hundred and twenty-eight athletes from sixty-three nations will be seeking their place on top of the podium. The depth of the field is so great that any one of these Olympians could come away with a medal. The anticipation that the taekwondo family has for the London 2012 Olympic Games is great. We celebrate each and every athlete, and we expect the greatest demonstration of taekwondo that we have ever seen in history. Inside this pack you will find information on athletes, officials, PSS and the instant video replay system, rules and regulations, and important information for your convenience. Should you need any further information, WTF staff will be available to answer all of your questions. Please contact WTF Media Liaison Kyunghee Park at [email protected] with whatever needs you may have during the London 2012 Olympic Games. Sincerely, Chungwon Choue President 2 3 Contents I.

History of The Sport 1.1 Origins of Taekwondo The history of taekwondo as a martial art can be traced back for many millennia to the Korean Peninsula. For centuries, this unique form of self-defense existed in various guises and under different names, such as taekyon or subak. In ancient times, such as the Three Kingdoms Period of the Korean Peninsula, it was used primarily as a form of physical or military training In the early 1950s all the various forms were brought together and the modern version we recognize today was established. This unified system came to be known as taekwondo, which literally means "the way of kicking and punching." Since then, taekwondo has developed into a full-contact sport. By adopting certain rules, introducing protective equipment and changing certain techniques, it has been able to distinguish itself from other martial arts sports. Thus the introduction of body protection has made full-contact possible. The competition rules that allow continuous fighting without interference from the referee have allowed for the development of forceful and difficult techniques, enabling a delivery of consecutive attacks to the opponent. Combined with its swiftness and grace, its powerful and sophisticated techniques have attracted interested participants from all walks of life, prompting taekwondo’s popularity to soar. 1.2 Taekwondo Today On May 28, 1973, the World Taekwondo Federation, the world’s taekwondo governing body, was founded. Over 20 years later, in 1975, taekwondo was accepted as a sport by the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF), now SportAccord. And in 1980 the World Taekwondo Federation was recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the sole governing entity of taekwondo around the world. 5 65 Over the past four decades, taekwondo’s global popularity has been nothing short of meteoric, as tens of millions of practitioners around the world have experienced the proud traditions, philosophies and health benefits of taekwondo. Over the past 39 years, the WTF has promoted 20 editions of the WTF Men’s World Taekwondo Championships and 13 editions of the WTF Women’s World Taekwondo Championships, which are held concurrently every odd year. Every even year, the WTF promotes its World Junior Taekwondo Championships; the 9th edition was last held in April 2012. As of 2012, the global membership of the WTF stands at 202 national associations, spanning five continents. Several more countries are expected to join the WTF this year. 6 75 2. World Taekwondo Federation 2.1 Introduction The World Taekwondo Federation is the sole international governing body for the sport of taekwondo that is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It is also a member of the Association

  • WTF Taekwondo Kravanalys -I Ett Olympiskt Medaljperspektiv
    WTF Taekwondo Kravanalys -i ett olympiskt medaljperspektiv Taekwondo Författare: Henrik Broberg Datum: 2014-04-11 Olympisk Taekwondo Tävlingsupplägget på ett OS är annorlunda jämfört med på ett VM.På ett OS så tävlar man endast i fyra viktklasser och i övriga tävlingar så tävlar man i åtta viktklasser. Tävlingsreglerna är dom samma förutom att i ett OS så har man ett återkvalsystem om man förlorar mot en som senare kommer till final. Man kan dock som längst nå en bronsmedalj om man förlorat en match. Taekwondo var först med som en demonstration sport 1988 i Seoul OS och 1992 Barcelona OS. Den 4 september 1994 under den 103: e IOK sessionen i Paris blev taekwondo invald som en officiell sport för de olympiska spelen i Sydney år 2000. Taekwondo har sedan dess varit med på det officiella programmet i Aten OS 2004, Peking OS 2008 samt London OS 2012. Taekwondo har kontinuerligt utvecklats till en mer rättvis och spännande media vänlig sport med alla de krav och förväntningar som är förknippade med någon olympisk sport. Taekwondo har fortsatt att visa framsteg i både tekniska och operativa aspekter. Under de olympiska spelen i London 2012 hade taekwondo 128 spelare från 63 nationer. Det är det största antalet deltagande länder i taekwondo OS historia. WTF (World taekwondo federation) har infört en rad stora förändringar i sina regler för att ytterligare säkerställa rättvisa och öppenhet i bedömningen. Det har gjort sporten mer lätt att förstå och mer tilltalande för den allmänna publiken genom att anta den senaste tekniken och förstärka utbildningen av sina domare.

  • Olympian Lauren Burns to Speak at Mooroolbark Forum • Yarra Ranges Council Addresses Recycling Crisis • Community and Schools Remember Our War Heroes
    NO. 67 JUNE 2019 • Olympian Lauren Burns to speak at Mooroolbark forum • Yarra Ranges Council addresses recycling crisis • Community and schools remember our war heroes Good news stories from your local community Dr Scott Ayton A life lived well I have the privilege of a friendship with a young man who has achieved outstanding success in his chosen field. Dr Scott Ayton, although only in his early 30s, is deputy director of the Melbourne Dementia Research Centre at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health. In that role he heads a team of researchers working in the institute’s Translational Neurodegeneration laboratory. In 2016, Scott received the prestigious Young Researcher of the Year award from the Bethlehem Griffiths Research Foundation. By the time this article is published, the annual Yarra Ranges Mayoral Breakfast on the National Day of Thanks will have taken place. Many of our readers will not have had the opportunity to attend and hear Scott’s address as the 2019 guest speaker. For that reason, I’d like to share with you some of my observations about this young man’s life. I first met Scott when he was one of my students at Templestowe Park Primary School, where I taught music. Last year, when the school named its new STEM centre after Scott, I was privileged to reconnect with him. In subsequent conversations I have discovered that there is one specific characteristic of Scott’s life that has played a substantial role in him becoming the man he is. That characteristic could be described as “reflectiveness”—the intentional space made in daily life for quiet thought.
