Our team, which opened a new page in Uzbek taekwondo, was welcomed

On June 24-27, the Republic of Korea hosted the next Asian Taekwondo Championship. Our compatriots, who won 4 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals in competitions with the strongest athletes of the continent, returned to our homeland, opening a new page in Uzbek taekwondo.

The ceremony, which took place at the Tashkent International Airport named after Islam Karimov, was attended by Minister of Sports Development Adkham Ikramov and his deputy Shakhrullo Makhmudov, NOC Secretary General Oybek Kasimov, Defense Ministry officials, relatives of our athletes and many media representatives.

It will be recalled that our young men, who won four gold medals at the Asian Championship, took the first place in the team event, leaving behind the host of the competition and the homeland of this sport, South Korea. Jasur Jaysunov, the champion in the weight category -74 kg, was recognized as the "Best Athlete", and the coach of our team Pavel Khan was recognized as the "Best Coach".

P.S. After a short break, our team will continue to prepare for the Games of Islamic Solidarity, which will be held in August in Konya, Turkiye.
