Since the formation of the new Oceania region in taekwondo, Australia can no longer compete in the Asian Championships competition. However this year, as of yesterday, Australia has been specially invited to compete in the middle and heavy weight divisions only. This is the 17th Asian Championships competition and it will be held in Thailand, Bangkok from the 21st-23rd of April. I would have loved to have fought and improved upon my 2002 performance where I obtained a silver, however my division was not selected. I am none the less more than happy to have been given the opportunity to attend, watch and video tape international opponents. The Asian Championships is a strong competition and I wish all aussie athletes fighting the best of luck. The team going away is as follows:
Females
Middle: Katrina Iacobbuci (67-72kgs)
Heavy: Amy Ash (72kgs+)
Males
Middle: Adam Corrigan(78-84kgs)
Heavy: Jake Ryan(84+kgs)
Support Athletes/Observers
Light: Tina Morgan (59-63kgs)
Light: Burak Hasan (67-72kgs)
