To all Competitors, Officials, Supporters and Sponsors

Thank you all for your attendance and support at the recent ITF Taekwon-Do World Championships held here in New Zealand. It was an absolute pleasure for the Organising Team and many volunteers to have hosted you all. We hope your visit will be a lasting one with fond memories of New Zealand.

We hope to see you again and wish all ITF Federation Members the best of luck at the next World Championships in Spain.

To our Sponsors, thank you so very much. The event would not have been possible with your kind support.

Finally to all the many volunteers, you did New Zealand proud. Thank you for the last 3 years of support, attendance of many meetings and very late nights.

Kind Regards,
ITF Taekwon-Do World Championships 2011 New Zealand Organising Team
