TaekwondoData
TaekwondoData is a freely accessible sports database in which data from all Taekwondo - Championships of the World Taekwondo Federation and its continental and partly also the national associations are processed.

Ranking
TaekwondoData is a ranking list of the athletes (ranking) with which the successes of the competitors are measured based on the specified number of points. Each competitor not only receives tournament points for a medal place, but also for his participation. In addition, points are awarded for each fight won. The number of points will be halved at the turn of the year, so that even successful newbies can relatively quickly take a top position in their weight class.
There is also a career ranking in which all points earned at any given point in time are added up. Steven Lopez from the USA has led this ranking for a long time . In second place is Hadi Saei Bonehkohal from Iran , who has since retired .
In addition to the championships mentioned above, "A-Class Tournaments" are also held in Europe. These are eight tournaments that are held in eight different countries in Europe. For a medal place in these top-class tournaments there are also tournament points, but no competition points.
Origin and maintenance
The database was set up in 1999 by Peter Bolz, the press spokesman for the Bavarian Taekwondo Union (BTU) who lives near Munich. Together with Marius Mühlberger and Georg Streif , he keeps the TaekwondoData up to date.
