Taekwondo chief calls for flexibility in Tokyo prep

Adapting swiftly to changes in rules and refereeing will be key, says Guan

Chinese Taekwondo and Karate Association president Guan Jianmin says reacting promptly to changes in competitions will be crucial in aiding preparations for the postponed Tokyo Olympic Games.

"A key point is to adjust to all changes taking place in matches as soon as possible, including new rules and changes to refereeing in international competitions," Guan told Xinhua on Monday.

Guan revealed that China's taekwondo and karate national teams moved their training camp from Taiyuan, Shanxi province to Wuzhishan, Hainan province at the end of last year.
