Long serving Union member and WTF International Referee Master Stan Wagner, has been appointed by the World Taekwondo Federation as one of only 24 International Referees who will officiate at the forthcoming WTF Qualification Tournament for the 2010 Youth Olympic Games and the 8th WTF Junior WorldChampionships. Both events are being held in Tijuana, Mexico during early March.
Stan has also officiated internationally at two Oceania Taekwondo Championships, the Commonwealth Taekwondo Championships and the South Pacific Taekwondo Games making him one of our most experienced International Referee's.
Having recently returned from Bangalore, India after attending an International Referees Refresher Course, Stan will become New Zealand’s first International Referee to officiate at the Junior World Championships and a Youth Olympic Qualification Event of this magnitude. It's great to see Stan being selected to officiate by the WTF and this is testimony to his experience and expertise as an International Referee. The Union congratulates Stan on his appointment.
