Profile of World
Class Taekwondo Athletes
An interesting study was published in the last WTF News regarding the
profile of male and female Taekwondo athletes. The basic material was
collected at the Olympic Games 2000 in Sydney. Some of the results are:
-98% of all scoring techniques were kicks
-offensive techniques were generally more successful
-the average height of male winners is greater than the category average
-male and female winners tended to be younger than their weight category
average
-in all male categories except the heavy weight the average weight of
male winners was greater that the weight category average; in heavy weight
it was vice versa (male and female)
So lets get taller, younger, right at the top of our weight categories,
and practice attack more than defence and we might be Olympic champions!
