In the bustling city of Al Ain, United Arab Emirates, the Global Taekwondo Federation (GTF) World Taekwon-Do Championship was held from July 22 to July 27, 2025. The event attracted 630 top athletes from 25 countries, showcasing their skills and determination in the martial art[4].
Among the participating teams, the Russian team, comprising 380 members, emerged victorious, securing the first place[1]. The team's success was not only due to their collective efforts but also the individual achievements of some of its members.
Six members of the Russian team hailed from the Khabarovsk region, a testament to the region's growing prominence in Taekwondo[2]. One of these athletes, Taissiya Voronova, shone brightly, winning three gold medals and one silver at the world youth championships[3].
Voronova was not the only one from the Khabarovsk region to make a mark at the championship.

An unnamed athlete from the region even won the Russian youth taekwondo championships, further boosting the region's reputation[6].
Sergey Kalinin, another member of the Russian team, also had a stellar performance, winning three gold medals in different disciplines at the world youth championships[7]. Andrey Lysyakov, another notable athlete, won first place twice and second place twice in the 18+ age category[2].
While the specific results of the Khabarovsk region athletes are not fully documented due to limited information available, the Russian team's overall victory at the championship is a significant achievement.
