〈ROKNTV 한국뉴스티브이〉 채정희 편집국장 By Chief Editor CHAE JEONG-HUI = The World Taekwondo family tonight celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding with an outstanding Golden Jubilee Gala Dinner which honoured some of the Member National Associations and athletes who have played an integral role in the sport’s success over the last 50 years.
The Gala Dinner was held in the iconic Heydar Aliyev Centre with around 450 guests in attendance including World Taekwondo Council members, MNAs and referees as well as VIP guests – IOC Vice President Ser Miang NG and Mr. Farid Gayibov, Minister of Youth and Sports in Azerbaijan.
