Mr Milan Kwee, STF President, attended the WTF Council Meeting which was held on Friday 7 June 2013 in the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland.Before the start of the meeting two memoranda of understanding were signed by the WTF – one, with the Cereberal Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association and the other with the International Sports Federation for Persons with Intellectual Disability.  The collaboration was an important milestone for the WTF in bringing taekwondo into the Paralympic Games. The five-hour long meeting covered many important areas for the development of the sport.  Many decisions were made.  Some of which included the following:

  • The WTF World Cup Taekwondo Team Championships would be held from 28 to 30 November 2013 in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire
  • The 9th World Poomsae Championships would be held in Mexico in 2014.
  • The biennial World Taekwondo Championships would be staged from 16 to 23 September 2015 in Chelyabinsk, Russia.
  • The 10th World Poomsae Championships will be organized by Vietnam Taekwondo Federation in 2015 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The introduction of the WTF World Taekwondo Grand-Prix was another significant measure to further enhance the status of the sport. Said Mr Kwee: “It was a productive meeting.  More importantly, the direction had been set for a more active and dynamic WTF.”

Chelsea Wins Gold for Singapore

Chelsea Sim, arguably the best poomsae athlete in Singapore, proved that she had what it took to demolish her oppositions in the 11th ATF Taekwondo Championships staged in the new capital of Myanmar, Nay Pyi Daw.

Facing strong contenders from Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines and Vietnam, Chelsea took the title with her almost immaculate performances of Taegeuk 8 and Poomsae Koryo.  She was drawn to perform 3rd.  She took the first spot with a high score of 7.07 points putting Philippines who was first to perform in second place by only 0.01point 

The question then on everybody’s mind was whether she could hold the lead as the known top two contenders for the crown – Indonesia (Korea Open Champion) and Myanmar (2011 SEA Games bronze medallist) – had not taken the stage yet.

Myanmar performed after Vietnam but could only manage a third spot, 0.01 point behind Philippines.  The positions remained unchanged till the end as the rest of the field could not produce performances which impressed the judges.

It was indeed a great show by Chelsea.

He added: “Most importantly, I learned from Ms Yu, the Senior Volunteer Programme Executive, that the patients would be happy to see volunteers coming to visit them and organizing activities for them.

Members of the NTU Taekwondo Club has shown to that taekwondo is indeed a powerful tool which can be harnessed for the good of our society.
