Mexican taekwondo athletes have taken part in a Para poomsae training camp in preparation for this year’s World Para Taekwondo Championships, due to begin later this month in Veracruz.

The camp took place in Mexico City and was set up to give the country’s Para taekwondo athletes the best possible preparation prior to a home World Para Taekwondo Championships, set to begin on September 21.

The Federación Mexicana de Taekwondo thanked the country’s coaches for their efforts in preparing athletes for the Championships, which are being held in Mexico for the first time.
