Asghar Rahimi In an interview with IRNA on Monday, he added: “Today, the selection of the student boys’ taekwondo team was held and out of the total number of invited people, eight went to the next camp.”
He continued by stating that the selection competitions for female student taekwondo will be held tomorrow, Tuesday: According to the decision of the Student Taekwondo Association, these selections will be held without the presence of national students to give students enough opportunity to show their abilities. People like Nahid Kiani will definitely perform more successfully in the selection due to being nationalized or participating in foreign competitions.
The taekwondo expert noted: دخت The girls’ competitions will also be held without the presence of the national team, and although the top eight weightlifters will be invited to the national team training camp. The girls may not be sent to the Chinese Universiade due to their lower technical level in all eight weights.
Rahimi stated that he had been present in the hall all the time during the qualifying competitions for the boys’ students and had watched the competitions closely.: He said: They will be ready.
He added: دوم The second stage of taekwondo selection for students will be held in February with the presence of nationals in both boys and girls sections, and a total of 32 athletes consisting of 16 girls and 16 boys will be invited to the camps to be sent to China.
The president of the Student Taekwondo Association expressed the hope that the technical staff of the girls ‘and boys’ taekwondo teams will be introduced next week so that their training can begin at the end of the selection in February.
Regarding the possibility of holding competitions or foreign training programs to prepare student taekwondo practitioners, Rahimi said: Given the current situation, including the prevalence of corona and lack of required funds, sending students to overseas competitions to increase their readiness is almost impossible, but In March of this year, three international competitions will be held in Kish, and we will try to get the student team to participate in these competitions, or at least the national team members of the student team to be able to participate in these competitions.
He once again pointed to the high chances of student taekwondo fighters in China and said: During the last three Universiades, the highest number of gold medals was the share of student taekwondo fighters and I hope this number will increase in China as well. This issue has a significant impact on the position of the Iranian convoy in the distribution table of Universiade medals.
The head of the Student Taekwondo Association added: Four gold medals of the Iranian student convoy at the South Korean Universiade belonged to Taekwondo, and the same number of gold medals was repeated by them at the 2017 Universiade in Taiwan. At the 2019 Universiade in Italy, taekwondo fighters increased this number of gold medals to five, and we are very hopeful about the team’s result in China.
