YOG TKD

Being a taekwondo siao, how could i miss out this inaugural YOG in SG?!?! This tkd competition was spread over 5 days according to the different weight category of the participants. I went on a wed to watch. Security there was quite tight. We are told to take a sip of our own water to prove that it is not something hazardous.



Near the spectators' gallery


Hai-Yah! hahas.



The medals that were given out to the winners in this year YOG(bronze, silver and gold)







Certain highlights in the tkd match:


The men's final between Russia (Red) and Korea (Blue)





Women's final between Spain (Red) and Korea(blue)





Nice jumping cum turning kick attempted by the Russian but sadly, the Korean is able to dodge in time.


Male Winners!



Female Winners!
I think YOG is kinda successful. I was actually spurred by these tkd matches over the past few days that i have the urge to complete my tkd too. i thank the two singaporeans who managed to win the bronze medals in this YOG, introducing more people to TKD. After their victory, more people actually turned up for the subsequent tkd matches. Congrats to them ^^
