Taekwondo: Mali, CIV, others for Classics

[Mirror]

Chairman of the Lagos State Taekwondo Association, Jimi Ogunowo, says organisers of the Lagos International Taekwondo Classics have received entries from Mali, Cote d'voire, Benin Republic, Togo and Niger Republic. The Classics will hold from December 4 to 8 at the Teslim Balogun Stadium.

According to Ogunowo, over 200 entries have also been received from within and outside the country.

"Egypt, Senegal, Tunisia and Libya are waiting for some outcomes before sending their entries<' he said.

"It is important for us to have programmes that will expose the athletes to more competitions and new knowledge as they chase honours against their counterparts from other countries. "

The experience will raise the standard of the championship and at the same time expose our athletes to international taekwondo community which will improve their self esteem and help them compete better."
