taekwondo1-6, Exercise 2: The Olympic path

Model answer:

Steps (Taekwondo at the Summer Olympics article):
- 1974: admitted into the US Amateur Athletic Union (WTF technical standards adopted by its taekwondo group).
- 1975: affiliate of the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF).
- 1980: WTF recognised by the IOC.
- 1981: a primary event at the World Games.
- 1982: designated a demonstration sport for the 1988 Seoul and 1992 Barcelona Games.
- 1986-87: World Cup, Asian Games, All-Africa Games (1986) and Pan American Games (1987).
- 1988 and 1992: demonstration sport.
- 1994: adopted by the IOC as an official sport for the 2000 Games.
- 2000: full medal sport, Sydney.

Bronze medals: a repechage (the losers to the two finalists compete; the two repechage finalists each receive bronze).

GAISF discrepancy: the World Taekwondo article says affiliation on 8 October 1974; the Olympics article says 1975. The chapter gives both dates with their owners and does not choose, noting they may describe different steps.
