Taekwondo Canada has rescheduled its National Championships, with the poomsae event taken online in response to the COVID-19 situation.

The National Kyorugi Championships are now set for April 15 to 17 and remain at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto.

Senior, youth, junior and cadet competitions are all planned.

March 12 and 13 are the dates for the National Poomsae Championships, which will no longer be an in-person event.

A national team to represent Canada at the World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships in Goyang in South Korea will be selected off the results of the National Championships.

Toronto had been due to stage the National Championships from January 7 to 9, but a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in Ontario led to a postponement.

"The decision to postpone the National Championships was very difficult and we are pleased to announce the rescheduled dates today," Taekwondo Canada executive director Dave Harris said.

"We have looked at all aspects of the event and wanted to make sure that we could schedule dates that would make the most sense for all involved."
