Extra European Championships

The G4 Extra European Taekwondo Championships were held in November 2019 as a form of compensation for European athletes to provide them the chance to collect ranking points for the 2020 Olympic Games after taekwondo was dropped from the 2019 European Games program. [7] World Taekwondo Europe (WTE) president referred to it as the continental flagship event. [8]
