Mar del Plata taekwondo player Tomás Maimone travels to Asia to represent Argentina in an important international tournament.

Maimone, who trains intensely at the River Plate Club in Mar del Plata under the technical direction of Alejandro Yapuncic, was confirmed by the Argentine Taekwondo Confederation ITF as a member of the Argentine National Team.

The tournament will be held on August 15 in the city of Suzhou, China. This is an International Open that will mainly bring together competitors from China and Asia, with individual form and combat categories. There will also be a special challenge between the teams of Argentina and China.

Tomás is an international medalist with a great career: he participated in the World Championships in Argentina 2018, Netherlands 2022 and Barcelona 2025. His greatest achievement was in South Korea 2023, where he became champion and won the Gold medal in Seoul at the World Games.

He currently represents the River Club of Mar del Plata and also teaches classes to children who are starting out in martial arts at the Náutico and Talleres clubs.

After passing through China, the Argentine delegation will continue its tour of South Korea, where it will compete in the traditional Kukkiwon stadium in Seoul, with the participation of WT and ITF athletes.

In this regard, his coach Alejandro Yapuncic expressed:

“This tour of China and Korea will give great experience to Tomás, who is at the top of his career and eager to continue winning”
