“Maher Magabele” In an interview with IRNA on Tuesday, the Australian observer of the World Taekwondo Federation, who monitors three international events in Tehran, said: “Iranian Taekwondo has a good position in the world and is always one of the important teams in this Olympic discipline.”
He added: “This issue led to a good reception of this year’s international competitions in Tehran.” The technical level of the competition is good and the refereeing is not a problem. It is a good thing that athletes from several countries have the power to come together and compete.
Magabaleh said that the corona outbreak in the last two years has created many problems for world sports, adding: “The Asian Clubs Cup, Fajr Cup and President Cup fights were a good opportunity for the Hugo Pushans of several countries to compete again.”
The Australian observer of the World Taekwondo Federation stated: The presence of several prominent Olympic, world and Asian champions in Tehran made the fights have an ideal quality level. I hope that in the coming years, the competitions hosted by Iran, especially in the women’s section, will be held with more teams.
He said: “We should keep in mind that Corona caused many problems for athletes and some of them did not want to participate in international competitions, but fortunately I saw motivated taekwondo athletes in Tehran competitions.”
