Seven Swift Current Taekwondo students added to their medal collection last week.
The Dan-Do Online tournament, held last month, focused on the "Poomsae"; the practice of choreographed attack and defence patterns of movement.
The seven students ranged in age from 8 to 17, and collectively gathered two silvers and five bronze medals.
Gary Voysey is the head instructor at Swift Current Christian Taekwondo.
"It was right across the nation and they did such a great job of executing this tournament. And now with COVID and opening up on July 11, we're looking forward to more 'in person' tournaments."
The judging for the Dan-do Poomsae tournament was made up of referees from across Canada. Competitors recorded and uploaded their routines for review.
