Our male K 44 -80KG Para Taekwondo Athlete and Paralympic Athlete Elliott Loonstra once again is putting Aruba’s name on top. The Para Taekwondo world ranking was recently published in March 2022, where Aruba is in the seventh position in the world ranking and in the first position in the Pan American region ( American continent, North, Center, Caribbean and South).
Elliott Loonstra PLY
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has recognized Elliott Loonstra for his contribution to the Paralympic Movement through his hard work, commitment and promotion of Paralympic values. Post-nominal letters, such as PhD or MD, are placed after a person’s name to indicate office, honor, or fraternity membership. Thus, PLY can be added next to the Paralympic athlete’s name on official documentation, social media, resumes, business cards, presentations, email signatures, or anywhere else their name is used.
In the near Future
You can meet Elliott and participate in a free Martial Arts self-defense class at Onehealthydayaruba.com, on Sunday, March 20, 2022, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at BodyZone Aruba and at Paseo Herencia from 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM, for more information +297 630 47 43, [email protected]
Challenges
Elliott Loonstra PLY and his coach Luciano Mazzeo are preparing for their next challenge, the 2022 Pan American Para Taekwondo Open to be held on April 15th, 2022 Rio de Janeiro Brazil , where they will seek to repeat the feat in 2019 where they achieved the podium with a bronze medal, which was Aruba’s first international medal in Para Taekwondo.
A special mention and thank you goes to the people of Aruba for their constant support of the Paralympic movement of Aruba. We hope to be able to represent Aruba in the 2023 Para Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile and repeat the representation in the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, France. Aruba, we THANK YOU.
