taekwondo1-4, Exercise 2: Reasons and road to the Olympics

Model answer:

Break with the KTA (1966): the other kwans resisted adopting Choi's Chang Hon style as the unified style and wanted one built from all kwans; "political disagreements about teaching Taekwon-Do in North Korea and unifying the whole Korean Peninsula" (Taekwondo article). The ITF article says only "international organizational politics".
1972 withdrawal of support: the president had given limited support because of a personal relationship, but Choi and the government split over whether to accept North Korean influence (Taekwondo article); the Choi article says the government refused to allow his organisation to teach in North Korea; the ITF article says "political disagreements" with President Park Chung-hee.

Road to Olympic status (any three, World Taekwondo article):
- 8 October 1974: affiliated to the General Association of International Sports Federations.
- 17 July 1980: recognised by the IOC at its 83rd Session in Moscow.
- Demonstration sport at the 1988 Seoul Games (and 1992 Barcelona, per the article).
- 4 September 1994: adopted as an official sport of the 2000 Summer Olympics at the 103rd IOC Session in Paris.
- 15 February 1995: provisional member of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations.
