The country’s athletes have also enjoyed great success internationally with all qualified Olympic athletes winning medals at Tokyo 2020 (two golds, one silver and one bronze) and three of their four Paralympic athletes winning medals in Tokyo (three bronze).

“It is my pleasure to present this certificate on behalf of the Korean Ministry of Sport and Tourism to my friend and colleague Anatoly K Terekhov. President Terekhov has made a huge contribution to the development of Taekwondo in Russia and led them to be one of the sport’s most successful countries. Their outstanding performance at Tokyo 2020 in both the Olympic and Paralympic Games reflects how far they have come under his leadership. Russia has also hosted many excellent and prestigious Taekwondo events. As a member of the World Taekwondo Council, President Terekhov continues to support in the global development of Taekwondo as well and he thoroughly deserves this commendation.”

Russian Taekwondo Union President Terekhov said:

“I am honoured to have received this commendation and would like to sincerely thank the Korean Ministry of Sport and Tourism and President Choue for his nomination. My team and I at the Russian Taekwondo Union have worked very hard over the last seven years to raise the standards of Taekwondo in Russia and this commendation is a tribute to our collective success.”
