The national ITF taekwondo team of Kyrgyzstan was unable to travel to the Asian Championship in Mongolia due to alleged fraud. Vice President of the Kyrgyz ITF Taekwondo Federation Sardor Rakhimshaikhov said in a video address. However, the athletes were unable to depart on Almaty—Beijing—Ulaanbaatar flight because the airline tickets paid for by the federation had not actually been purchased, preventing the team from reaching the Asian Championship. The federation has appealed to tour operators, airlines, and the country’s leadership for assistance in helping the national team reach Mongolia and participate in the Asian Championship. According to Rakhimshaikhov, the International and Asian ITF Taekwondo Federations are ready to extend the registration deadline for Kyrgyzstan’s team until tomorrow so that the athletes can still take part in the tournament.
