24th Olympic Games 1988 Seoul, Korea |
Taekwondo became an Olympic Sport on July 17th 1980 at the 83rd General Session of IOC in Moscow. Despite this it lasted two decades until Taekwondo made the step into the official program of the Olympic Games - this will happen in Sydney 2000.
Nevertheless, Taekwondo has been adopted two times as a demonstration sport at Olympic Games: 1988 in Seoul/Korea and 1992 in Barcelona/Spain. This is a kind of test for future to-be-olympic sports, and normally this chance is given only one time to a candidate. The fact that Taekwondo had to pass this test for two times shows how hard it is now to take the last step into the official olympic program.
Being a demonstration sport at the Olympic Games means, that there will be held competition inside the normal olympic program, even the medals are the same, but some restrictions apply. For instance, there was some fighting about the official marching-in ceremony and of course the medals for Taekwondo do not show up in the official medal ranking of the Games.
Anyway, for the participating Taekwondo-competitors in Seoul and Barcelona it was a unforgettable memory, staying together with the world's best athletes in the Olympic Village and being a part of the largest sports event in the world. This experience will even be topped in Sydney 2000, when they will compete for real Olympic gold.
