TEAM ICELAND SENIORS ELECTED FOR ONLINE 2021 WORLD TAEKWONDO POOMSAE OPEN CHALLENGE III

By:

In collaboration with TKI – the Icelandic Taekwondo Federation, National Coach – Lisa Lents has elected Senior athletes from the National Team of Iceland to represent the country at the upcoming Online World Taekwondo Poomsae Open Challenge III 2021, which is being hosted by World Taekwondo.

The prestigious online event is being held between September 21st – October 31st 2021 for Seniors in Recognized Poomsae, Freestyle & Family divisions. The Online World Taekwondo Poomsae Open Challenge 2021 has been held every quarterly (i.e. March, June, September). The responses to the Open Challenge I in March involving Families and Juniors, and the Open Challenge II in June involving Families, Cadets, and Refugees, have been overwhelmingly positive. More than 1,000 Taekwondo athletes from all over the world have participated. The Preliminary and Semifinal rounds of the event, are pre-recorded, while the Finals are being conducted LIVE Online, which gives the athletes a great feeling of competing in real life, while there are restrictions in most parts of the world, which makes it challenging to conduct real life events.

The election of Team Iceland athletes is based on the their results & engagement in International Online championships, National Team seminars & personal motivation and dedication.
