It’s a GOLD
One athlete…one GOLD!
Chelsea Sim did us proud by winning the Female Individual Gold Medal at the 5th Australian Open which was held on 16 and 17 August 2014 in Sydney, Australia.
The win was extremely sweet because she was the David amongst the Goliaths with the other competitors towering over her. Nobody expected the tiny and frail looking Singaporean girl to create a buzz the minute she stepped onto the mats. Her competitors and spectators were left in awe after watching her scintillating performance.
Chelsea was, without doubt, the runaway winner.
Kang Rui Jie, who was also selected for the tournament, was unable to compete in the event because it coincided with his examinations.

Kyorugi Referee Refresher Seminar Results
The Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) is aiming to bring the standard of referee to that of the players and coaches. One of the areas which need attention is the understanding of the interpretations of the rules.
The outcome of the theory test conducted at the seminar gives a compelling reason why the STF should put in more effort towards the education of its referees.
The results are attached.
A review session will be conducted at the STF National Training Centre on Friday 22 August 2014 from 7.00pm onwards.
Referees who are interested to attend the review must call the Secretariat on 6345 1491 to register.

Those who obtained provisional pass must be present as there are a number of questions they need to know the correct answers. They will not be required to pay the review fee.
