KUCHING, April 25: Sarawakians have once again made the country proud by bringing home two medals from the Goyang 2022 World Taekwondo Poomsae Championship in South Korea.
According to a statement, Nurul Hidayah Abdul Karim won a silver medal in the mixed pair event with Jason Loo, while Nur Humaira Abdul Karim won a bronze medal in the women’s team event with Hidayah and Lim Jia Wei.
Sarawak Taekwondo Association (WTF) president Azizul Annuar Adenan viewed the athletes’ performance as another accomplishment and recognition for the governing state body.
