: Olympic Council of Malaysia president Tan Sri Mohamad Norza Zakaria wants Taekwondo Malaysia to end a drought of almost two decades without a representative at the Olympic Games at the Los Angeles 2028 Games.

“Of course, step by step, I think this is one of the ways,” he said after officiating the International Kyorugi and Poomsae Taekwondo World Referee Seminar and Refresher Course at Wisma OCM here, today. “This is one of the ways to put Malaysia on the international map and boost the development of this sport, which to some extent gives an injection to take this sport to a higher level. I also want to express my full support for taekwondo returning as a core sport,” he added.

“The tournament will involve thousands of participants from 44 countries, a very proud achievement since I became TM president in 2018. At least our talents will be highlighted for good achievements in the Asian Junior, seeing as we are the host, then we move forward from there,” he said.
