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. -
