Friends! Here comes the end of 2020. It was more special for us than ever. It was a year of discovery — we found ourselves in online tournaments and competitions. It was a year of acceleration — our athletes trained twice as much, and our inner work became twice as fast.

It was a year of safety — never before have we been so careful about the safety of each athlete. It was a year of care — each of us made every effort so that our loved ones and relatives feel us, and we feel them. It was a year of records, and not only sports records, but also personal ones — each of us did something for the first time this year, did something better than ever.

This year has revealed the true value of live communication and live competitions — we were convinced of this at the “Kyiv Open” tournament.

I wish everyone who is involved in the art of taekwondo to overcome all obstacles with success and set your own new and new records. The main thing is to stay healthy and full of vital energy and strength!
