ATHLETE GUIDE KICKINGFORGLORY.COM MANCHESTER ARENA 15-19 MAY 2019 Dear WORLD Taekwondo Family, IT IS MY PLEASURE TO WELCOME YOU TO MANCHESTER FOR THE 2019 WORLD TAEKWONDO CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Manchester has hosted many excellent taekwondo events in recent years, including the first ever World Taekwondo Grand Prix in 2013. We can therefore have complete confidence that Manchester will host a fantastic World Championships and provide the perfect environment for our athletes and fans.

The World Championships are always very special as our taekwondo family comes together from around the world to share in the collective love of our sport. Not only will we enjoy displays of great skill and athleticism in Manchester but we will also witness friendship and respect from the world’s best athletes. This year’s Championships will also be particularly important as it will take place just one year before the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and so athletes will not just be competing for the honour of becoming world champion, but also for vital Olympic ranking points. World Taekwondo has worked hard in recent years to adjust our rules and introduce new innovations which encourage and reward athletes to attempt the most spectacular and exciting techniques. I have no doubt that athletes here in Manchester will put on a spectacular show for all the fans watching around the world. We can expect thrilling matches, unexpected results and last-second drama that will keep us on the edge of our seats throughout the competition.

I would like to thank the Organising Committee once again for their excellent preparations and I am sure this event will be a great success.

I wish all the participating athletes and Member National Associations the best of luck.
