Chingay Parade 2013

The Singapore Taekwondo Federation fielded a small but dynamic contingent of 60 participants for this year’s Chingay Parade which was held on 22 and 23 February 2013 at the F1 Pit Building. The group included 4 Koreans from the World Taekwondo Federation Peace Corps.

The fluid taekwondo dance movements were choreographed by Mr Daniel Kim who had been appointed recently as the Vice-Chairman of the Demonstration Committee.

Mr Tan Cheng Hui, Demonstration Committee Chairman, who supervised the overall performance said: “I was happy with the performance considering that the participants did not have much time to practice because the music for the other groups in our segment came in quite late. We could work on the steps only after we received the music. Our performers have to work overtime to learn the steps and achieve good co-ordination.”

All our participants enjoyed the experience and were glad that they volunteered to be part of the taekwondo group in the event.

A Great Party

A Great Party

More than 130 members turned up for the annual Chinese New Year Party which was held on 15 February 2013 at the National Training Centre. They comprised Management Committee members, Sub-Committee members, club leaders and coaches, grandparents and parents, TEAMgOLD members, National Squad members and more.

The other members of the WTF Taekwondo Peace Corp also received a certificate and trophy each in recognition of their contribution to the promotion of taekwondo.

After the simple ceremony, the event continued with food, fun and games. Food and tidbits were generously served. However, they did not seem to be the main attraction as the attendees were distracted by the scintillating taekwondo demonstration, the fun games, the many prizes and the generous lucky draws. For the not so young, it was the company and the drinks which they brought for the ‘happy hours’.

It was a great party which saw a record number turning up since the event was inaugurated almost ten years ago.

Taekwondo Community Worldwide Relieved

Taekwondo Community Worldwide Relieved

Before the International Committee Executive Board (IOC EB) met on 12 February 2013, taekwondo and modern pentathlon were in danger of being dropped from the 26 core sports for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games. From the grapevine, taekwondo was the likelier of the two.

Although the taekwondo community was quietly confident that taekwondo would remain in the Games after the sport was impressively showcased in the 2012 London Olympics, it was putting its finger crossed as anything could happen.

The World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) had done its best to live up to the expectations of the IOC but the other sports might have done better.

Nevertheless, the WTF had done all it could. It changed the competition rules and introduced modern technology to make the sport safer, more appealing and entertaining and attractive to the media. It also aligned its philosophy to the requirements of IOC in terms of universality and good governance.

The taekwondo community was relieved when it was announced by the IOC that taekwondo was selected as one of the 25 core sports. Wrestling, one of the sports that had been featured since the start of the Olympics, was dropped.

The decision of the IOC EB will be presented at the 125th IOC Session in September 2013 for ratification. It will most likely be approved. In the meantime, the taekwondo community could be delighted that the hard work of the WTF was recognized.
