Monica Pimentel, the only Olympic athlete of Impact Taekwondo, kept training during the pandemic. These days, she is training at Linear Park, Hooiberg, and Washington, together with her group of kids. Many other athletes can be seen training at Linear Park.
Monica trains a group of kids between the ages 8 and 12 at ‘Scol Basico Washington’ on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm.
Stuart Smith took his son Stuart Smith jr there so he could follow in his footsteps. This day reminded Stuart of the day he first started back in 1994 at the same age as his son. Stuart Smith jr enjoyed the training and wants to win more medals than his father. Stuart Smith also took the opportunity to show off some of his moves.
Monica Pimental is grateful to all the parents who put their trust in her to train their kids. Monica Pimentel sees growth in the athletes Kianna Krosendijk, Ingomar Jacobs, Deevah Loefstop, Ayleen van Geene, and Alisha van Geene.
