“We’ve been making changes since Sydney 2000, but this time we have a new set of competition rules and the sparring area will be closer to the audience,” said Choue in the interview to The Korean Times.

According to Choue the main goal is to minimise the referees’ mistakes. According to him, since the introduction of Protector and Scoring System electronic equipment, there have been almost no questions or arguments on referees' decisions.

“There can always be human error in sporting events where there is a referee. The key is how much effort is put into minimising it and helping the referees,” added the WT President.

He also has high expectations for the Taekwondo tournament at Paris 2024 in Grand Palais, which is “a more special venue than any other Olympic stadium in history”, and is sure that the broadcast will become "a great spectacle".

Choue is proud that several countries that have a long history of participating in the Olympics but had no history of winning a medal have won in taekwondo

“It was a great joy when competitors from African nations won medals.

“It’s now hard to predict who will win gold, silver or bronze medals in taekwondo and it depends on each competitor’s condition on the day,” Choue said.
