GB Taekwondo and British Taekwondo condemn the actions currently being committed by Russia and as a result, fully support the stance that the International Organising Committee (IOC), the World Taekwondo Federation (WT) and the European Taekwondo Union (ETU) have taken to ban athletes/officials from Russia and Belarus competing until further notice.

As an organisation, we stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine following the news of their invasion and our thoughts go out to them during this difficult time.
