The two-hour sessions took place on October 7 and 11, during the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires.

Held at the Youth Olympic Village hall, they involved a series of short presentations from leading figures in the anti-doping and anti-manipulation industries.

The young athletes are said to have learnt to respect their sport, their opponents, the teams and anyone that takes part in competition.

It is claimed these ideas align with World Taekwondo’s key motto: "Peace is more precious than triumph".

Olympian, World Taekwondo Sport Integrity Ambassador and Athletes' Committee co-chair Pascal Gentil gave an inspired talk about the importance of sport integrity.

Gentil explained that a sporting career should involve being honest, clean, transparent and being true to yourself during competition.

The young athletes were also able to interact with and learn from taekwondo and Olympic role models, Great Britain’s Jade Jones and Argentina’s Sebastián Crismanich, who themselves have enjoyed incredibly successful and clean careers.

Other key figures and sporting icons involved in the informative sessions included Christelle Correia, representing the Olympic Movement Unit on Prevention of Manipulation of Competitions and the ethics and compliance office of the International Olympic Committee.

She was joined by Tony Cunningham, senior manager of education at the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and Giovanni Di Cola, chair of the World Taekwondo Sustainability Committee.

"Buenos Aires 2018 proved to be a successful Games for many of World Taekwondo’s most talented young athletes," a statement from the international governing body reads.

"The World Taekwondo focus days will ensure that they stay on track for future successes, whilst also taking steps towards keeping the sport clean and manipulation free."

It was confirmed earlier this month that World Taekwondo will hand over its anti-doping programme to the International Testing Agency (ITA) from the beginning of next year after the two organisations signed a partnership agreement in Buenos Aires. 

The deal, which will see the ITA take control of areas of World Taekwondo's current drug-testing operation such as risk assessment, the registered testing pool and in and out-of-competition samples, is due to begin on January 1.

Ensuring taekwondo's international governing body maintains compliance with WADA is another key aim.

The agreement is set to run through to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, with ITA director general Benjamin Cohen claiming there is scope for the partnership to continue beyond the event in the Japanese capital.

World Taekwondo became the latest International Federation to sign up to the ITA, which began operations earlier this year.

Others to have joined the supposedly umbrella-body include the International Judo Federation and the International Boxing Association.

World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue welcomed the deal with the ITA and claimed the sport was among the cleanest on the Olympic programme.

"We are always looking at ways of improving our anti-doping programmes to ensure we are delivering competitions that our athletes, fans and all stakeholders can have complete trust in," Choue said.
