Team Singapore Virtual Taekwondo Shines at Muju Taekwondowon 2024 International Open Virtual Taekwondo Championships
Team Singapore Virtual Taekwondo delivered a stellar performance at the Muju Taekwondowon 2024 International Open Virtual Taekwondo Championships, under the guidance of Team Managers Mr. Johnny Lim and Mr. Alvin Tan and Trainer Mr. Cullen Ang. The Championships showcases Virtual Taekwondo – a non-combat sport which replicates the movements of Taekwondo as athletes wear a headset and AXIS system to compete in a virtual space, regardless of age or gender.
The first day of the Championships saw Team Singapore Virtual Taekwondo making an impressive debut. The squad, comprising Justin Peh, Ng Tze Shayne, Nigel Tan Wei Reng, Tan Jia Wei, Lim Zi Wei, Janelle Chia, and Daycia Low, competed in both the Individual Male and Female events. The team’s efforts were rewarded with remarkable success. Justin Peh clinched the Gold medal in the Individual Male event, while Tan Jia Wei secured the Gold in the Individual Female event. In addition, Lim Zi Wei and Janelle Chia earned Silver and Bronze medals, respectively, in the Individual Female category.
The second day of the Championships further showcased Team Singapore Virtual Taekwondo’s dominance. Tan Jia Wei once again shone brightly, achieving Gold in the Individual Mixed Category while Lim Zi Wei and Justin Peh added to the medal tally with Silver and Bronze, respectively. With two female athletes and one male athlete on the podium, the mixed category reinforced that Virtual Taekwondo is a sport which is accessible to all irrespective of gender.
The highlight of the Championships came with Team Singapore’s triumph in the Senior Mixed Team event, the team emerged victorious, overcoming the team from Korea to claim the Gold medal. Team Singapore’s exceptional performance at the Muju Taekwondowon 2024 International Open Virtual Taekwondo Championships has set a new benchmark for Virtual Taekwondo. Their impressive medal haul and successful display in both individual and team events highlight the sport’s potential and the dedication of the athletes. The success of Team Singapore Virtual Taekwondo would not be possible without the support from various stakeholders.
STF would like to extend our gratitude to the generosity of the Organising Committee, World Taekwondo, SNOC, SportSG and the Taekwondo fraternity for the endless support. Last but not least, the STF would also like to thank Kwon for sponsoring the athletes’ competition attire for this Championships.
