I covered another Taekwondo event last weekend. In fact it was a two-in-one championship.
* Day 1 : 1st December 2007 - 3rd Milo-MTCA Inter Club Taekwondo Championship
* Day 2 : 2nd December 2007 - 2nd Inter Team Under-17 Unity Taekwondo Carnival
Both held at the same place, Kuala Lumpur Badminton Stadium.
Report from New Straits Times, NST Online 04-12-2007:
KORYO Taekwondo Club were the biggest winners grabbing three titles en route to clinch the Sonny Lee Challenge Trophy in the 3rd MTCA Inter-Club Taekwondo Championships at the Kuala Lumpur Badminton Stadium in Cheras last weekend.
Koryo emerged champions in the boys' 10-13 and 14-17 and girls' 10-13 categories for a total of 16 gold, 10 silver and 18 bronze medals to emerge tops in the championships which saw 42 clubs and state teams competing.
It was the second consecutive year that Koryo has won the championships but this year they took the title with ease as second-placed Gemilang Taekwondo Club, based in Terengganu, were a distant second with six gold, five silver and 12 bronze.
Third were Kuala Lumpur club Cemerlang with six gold, three silver and five bronze
Cemerlang, however, were the outstanding team in the girls' 14-17, emerging category champions with three gold, five silver and one bronze.
Several teams used the two-day event to expose their Malaysia Games players and Penang, with two gold, one silver and two bronze, won the men's Open while BTFC Taekwondo Club, with three gold and one bronze were the women's Open champions.
Malaysia Taekwondo Clubs Association (MTCA) president Chee Hock Choong said the response from clubs and state teams was overwhelming.
"We had initially, due to time constraints, limited the championships to 500 exponents but such was the response that in the end, 890 competed.
"We couldn't turn them away and we are glad that we didn't as the quality was good and we believe the competition delivered on its objective of exposing young exponents to quality competition," said Hock Choong.
The challenge trophy is in honour of former MTCA honorary secretary Sonny Lee Swee Thong who died following a motorcycle accident last year.
