The Olympic Farce

In a shocking display of corruption and bias at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the integrity of Taekwondo has been dealt another devastating blow. The scandal unfolded today when a decision that had rightly awarded victory to Chilean athlete Joaquín Churchill was disgracefully overturned in favor of South Korea’s Seo Geonwoo. This incident has once again brought to light the insidious influence of the World Taekwondo (WT) leadership, particularly the servile actions of Mohamed Shaaban, the president of the Games and Technical Committees, who seems all too willing to bow to the Korean-dominated hierarchy.
