The Mexican national team, composed of 52 athletes, will participate in the 2024 Poomsae World Championship in Hong Kong from November 30 to December 4. The team was honored with a flag ceremony on Friday at the National Center for Talent Development and High Performance (CNAR).
Luis Alberto Rivera Morales, Deputy Director of Sports Quality, presided over the event on behalf of Rommel Pacheco, General Director of the National Commission for Physical Culture and Sports (CONADE).
The team began their final preparations at CNAR, a facility managed by CONADE, and is scheduled to travel to Hong Kong early on Monday, November 25.
Among the standout athletes representing Mexico are William Arroyo from Oaxaca and Cecilia Lee from Nuevo León, both champions at the Goyang 2022 World Championship; Paula Fregoso from Jalisco, gold medalist in Chinese Taipei 2018; and Vaslav Ayala from Mexico City, who earned gold and silver in Aguascalientes 2014.

The national team will be led by head coach Kang Young Lee, supported by assistant coaches Arlette Carrasco, Mercedes Domínguez, and Paola Chávez, who will accompany the delegation during the competition.
“This is the first time we’re bringing such a large delegation to a Poomsae World Championship, with 52 athletes across all divisions and age categories, including over 65 years. While we’ve always participated, never with this many athletes. I believe we have great potential in Mexico, and all have medal-winning possibilities,” shared coach Arlette Carrasco with CONADE.
