Vietnam To Host Asian Taekwondo Championship for The 4th Time.

Vietnam has been the host of three Asian Taekwondo Championships in 1998, 2012 and 2018. At the most recent competition in 2018, Vietnamese taekwondo won an important gold medal when Truong Thi Kim Tuyen won the women's 46kg class. By hosting the above tournament in 2024, Vietnam will host the Asian taekwondo championship four times.

The 2024 Asian Taekwondo Championship no longer has much meaning for competing for Olympic tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics, but is an important tournament for boxers to practice before going to France to compete. Before the tournament takes place, Asian boxers will enter the qualifying round in China's Tai'an city from March 15 to 17. After the above tournament, the Olympic spots for Asian taekwondo are determined.

The Asian Para Taekwondo Open will also be held to coincide with the main event. This marks the fourth time that the country has hosted the tournament. In 2018, Vietnamese athlete Truong Thi Kim Tuyen won a gold medal after defeating Napaporn Charanawat from Thailand 13-5 in the women’s 46kg category. In addition to Tuyen’s success, Pham Thi Thu Hien also brought home a bronze medal in the women’s 57kg category.

The Asian Taekwondo Championships 2024 is considered to be a warmup for Vietnamese athletes before they travel to France to compete at 2024 Paris Olympics.
