According to IRNA; The 25th edition of the Asian Taekwondo Championships was held in Chancheon, South Korea, with 299 taekwondo fighters from 34 countries.
At the end of these competitions, the Iranian women’s team led “Mino Madah” And a brilliant performance for the first time won the championship. Our national team won 3 gold medals, 2 silver medals, 1 bronze medal and 500 points on the Asian championship platform.
While this was the first appearance of a new staff in the women’s team, the team performed very well and became the decisive champion.
Nahid Kiani’s good performance and the brilliant return of captain Akram Khodabandeh were the most important points. Khodabandeh went to Xiaopchang after eight years in the Asian Championships and became the champion in weight plus 73 kg to be the best female taekwondo fighter in the end. Kiani also became the most technical player.
The success of the women’s team promises that Minoo Madah’s students will be able to step on the success bar in various events such as various stages of the Grand Prix (if sent), Islamic Games, World Championships and Asian Games, and finally the quota to participate in the Paris Olympics. Earn different weights.
But on the other hand the disciples Bijan Moghanloo Our country’s experienced taekwondo instructor performed unexpectedly and worried the fans as well as the large taekwondo family of our country.
The team, which had made its way to the Asian Championships with a combination of experienced and young people, with three silver and one bronze medal, both longed for a gold medal and was ranked fifth to be one of the first to third platforms after 20 years. Lose Asia.
Much more strange point is that it was announced that Moghanloo was selected as the best coach of the men’s section along with the representatives of Uzbekistan and South Korea! A strange choice. How can a team that is in the fifth place and has not won gold be the best coach?
Although the technical staff of both the men’s and women’s teams have not started their work for a long time, the power of Iranian taekwondo is such that the poor performance of the men’s team will not be justified.
Due to the numerous and prestigious competitions ahead, we have to wait for the decision of the technical committee of the federation and, of course, “Hadi Saei”, the president of the Taekwondo Federation, regarding the technical staff of the men’s team.
