IIS Taekwondo Launches ‘Fighting Chance’: Paving the Way for Women at LA28 Olympics

Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) is making a significant stride in empowering female athletes with the launch of ‘IIS Taekwondo’s Fighting Chance’. This groundbreaking initiative aims to identify and nurture exceptional female Taekwondo talent, setting their sights firmly on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The ‘Fighting Chance’ program is a meticulously designed high-performance training system. It seeks to scout eight promising female Taekwondo athletes, aged between 16 and 26, who possess the raw talent and unwavering dedication required for elite-level competition. This initiative underscores IIS’s commitment to fostering a new generation of Olympians, providing them with unparalleled resources and expert guidance to reach their full potential on the global stage.

The journey for these aspiring Olympians begins with rigorous trials scheduled in two key locations: Guwahati and Trivandrum. These trials will serve as the initial gateway to a transformative training experience. Successful candidates will embark on an extensive, multi-continental training regimen, combining state-of-the-art facilities and coaching in India with invaluable exposure and advanced techniques from leading Taekwondo hubs in Europe and South Korea. This global immersion is designed to hone their skills, enhance their tactical understanding, and prepare them for the fierce competition of the Olympic arena.

‘IIS Taekwondo’s Fighting Chance’ represents more than just a training program; it’s a beacon of hope and opportunity for young Indian women dreaming of Olympic glory. By investing in these athletes now, IIS is not only shaping individual futures but also strengthening India’s presence in the international Taekwondo landscape. This initiative is a testament to the power of dedicated support in turning athletic dreams into reality. Aspiring athletes are encouraged to seize this incredible opportunity.
