Notice Regarding 2012 Olympic Selection Procedures

Notice regarding 2012 Olympic Selection Procedures 

USA Taekwondo (USAT) is currently in the process of developing the 2012 Olympic Selection Procedures. USAT is working closely with the United States Olympic Committee and the USA Taekwondo Athlete Advisory Council to develop the best process for selecting the 2012 Olympic Taekwondo Team. 

Due to the intricacies of these procedures and the level of approval that is needed to endorse them, it will take a considerable amount of time to finalize these procedures. 

The World Taekwondo Federation has recently announced that the World Olympic Qualifier will take place in either June or July of 2011. This is prior to the 2011 USAT Senior National Taekwondo Championships. That being said, it is likely that the 2010 State Championships, 2010 National Qualifiers and 2010 Senior Nationals World Class divisions will play a major role in qualifying athletes for the 2012 Olympic Trials for Taekwondo which must take place prior to the World Olympic Qualifier. 

We will post the Olympic Selection Procedures as soon as they are approved.  

For questions or concerns, please call Meredith Miller at the USA Taekwondo office at 719-866-4632.
