11 champions were produced at the Koko Krunch Junior Taekwondo Championships graced by Mr
Lim Biow Chuan, MP for Mountbatten, as the Guest of Honor and sponsored by
Nestle Koko Krunch.
And each of winners could be considered a record holder. Why not? They were the first champions in the Singaporeleg of the competition which was the inaugural edition. In the past, only Malaysian states were involved in the tournament which kicked off in 2006.
The competition staged on Sunday 28 April 2013 was as electrifying as it was entertaining. It saw players aged from 7 to 12 years old
using their entire arsenal of kicks and punches to get to the top. Exchanges were fast and furious. It was matched only by the loud vocal support of the crowd comprising grandparents, parents, club officials, coaches and fellow taekwondo members.
Many players were highly motivated and impressive. They displayed excellent techniques and tactics. On top of that, they seemed to have endless supply of energy to keep them going and going. The panel of selectors for the Best Performance Awards had a hard time picking the cream of the crop.
After some deliberation, they decided on Nicholas Wen Yan Hua (St Teresa TKD) and Isabel Rivas (J H Kim Millenia) for the male and female awards respectively.
The top three places for the male and female categories went to the following.
Junior
(Male)
1st J H Kim (Bt Timah)
2nd ACME TKD
3rd J H Kim (Serangoon)
Junior
(Female)
1st J H Kim (Millenia)
2nd J H Kim (Bt Timah)
3rd Zen Martial Arts & Fitness
J H Kim (Bt Timah) with the most number of gold medals won captured the Regional Grand
Champion title.
The Singapore Taekwondo Federation would like to put on record its appreciation to
The other results are attached.
The National Inter-School Taekwondo Championships held from 22 to 26 April 2013 would be remembered for their competitiveness resulting from better performances by the players and performers.
While many ‘kyorugi’ matches were closely fought, only 0.1 point differentiated the gold and silver medalists in the various categories of the poomsae event. And for the overall results in some divisions, only one or two points separated the top two schools.
In the ‘A’ Division (Female), Hwa Chong Institution edged Temasek Junior College, a powerhouse in the competition, to second place by only one point.
Springfield Secondary School, the defending champion, had to hand its ‘B’ Division (Male) title to Bowen Secondary School after it finished just one point shy of what it required to tie for first place.
It was sweet revenge for Temasek Primary School when it beat St Anthony’s Canossian Primary School. Last year St Anthony’s took the title garnering three points more than Temasek. This year, Temasek managed to capture the crown by having two points more than its closest rival, St Anthony’s.
It had been an exciting and energy-sapping five-day competition for participants and officials. But it was all worth it as the competition was successfully and smoothly conducted.
The Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) was grateful to the support of officials, referees, medical team and volunteers. They were the life line of the championships. Without their untiring devotion to the operations of the competition, it would not have been possible to for the championships to be staged. The STF recognized that they were the true heroes who made the champions in the competition.
The overall and detailed results are attached.
The Singapore Taekwondo Federation is pleased to announce that Koh Bee Kian has been promoted from 3rd to 2nd class national referee for both poomsae and kyorugi with effect from 30 April 2013.
