Taekwondo Black Belt Practice Test

Which statement best describes Taekwondo's status in the Olympics?

It is a demonstration sport only It is not recognized It is the national sport of Korea It is an Olympic sport with full medals

Correct Answer:

It is an Olympic sport with full medals

Explanation:

Taekwondo’s status in the Olympics is that it is an official Olympic sport with full medals. It first appeared at the Games as a demonstration sport in 1988 in Seoul and again in 1992 in Barcelona, where athletes could compete but medals didn’t count toward the official tally. In 2000 at Sydney, it became an official medal sport, so athletes now compete for Olympic gold, silver, and bronze just like in other sports, under IOC recognition. It isn’t the national sport of Korea; that distinction isn’t about Olympic status, which is why the official medal status is the best description.
