2006 Junior World Championships Results

August 18th, 2006 by Alex Frakking

18082006_1 Hats off to the Canadian Junior Team. The final standing has Canada with three bronze medals for this five-day event, the highest competition for Junior (14-17 year old) WTF Taekwondo players.

Our team of 20 athletes plus coaches, managers, and team doctor spent the week in Vietnam learning where they stand on the international scene and gaining valuable experience they’ll take to the senior level. The Junior and Senior World Championships are each held every two years.

Sean models the latest fashion in Vietnam.

Congratulations to Courtney Condie (female light heavy), Eric Phamhung (male light) and Sean Vrtacic (male welter) for their awesome performance and third place standing, and to the entire team including coaches and trainers across Canada who are building our strongest players yet.

Full result brackets for the Taekwondo World Junior Championships.
