The International Olympic Committee (IOC) does not support Because the WBC is considered to be a profit-oriented professional sports organization. And the boxers who win the WBC Muay Thai championship cannot be extended to compete in major international sporting tournaments.
Mr Polphoom also said that unlike major organizations such as the International Muay Thai Federation or IFMA who have pushed Muay Thai. become continuous and accepted From the Asian Olympic Games, OCA and the International Olympic Committee, IOC, as well as the World Anti-Doping Agency, WADA, has also recently been approved by the Olympic Committee. and the United States Paralympic Games or USOPC, including the Olympic Committee and the Paralympic Games, the European Union, EOC, to date, 149 countries are members.
As a result, IFMA-certified Muay Thai can be included in international sporting events such as the World Games, World Fighting Games, SEA Games, Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, Asian, Beach Games, Asian Games and Olympic Games in the near future.
So it became a question whether the Prime Minister Mr. Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, Minister of Sports and Mr. Kongsak Yodmanee, Governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand Do you understand Muay Thai’s path to the Olympics?
In addition, inappropriate sponsorship will lead to the legacy of Muay Thai, losing its rhythm and path of progression. Over the last 30 years, which has created membership to 149 countries and has recently been recognized by the United States and European countries. According to IFMA’s work and detailed information the International Olympic Games (IOC) itself does not support the WBC because it is a profit-oriented professional sports organization, and WBC Muay Thai is not internationally recognized . Do more than 90% of the Thai boxing business in the country, and recently the IOC announced a ban on boxing in the Olympics as well.
“Apart from not coming out to explain the sport of Muay Thai and Kun Khmer until the issue rages between the people of the two countries, he also does not understand international sports organizations. Listen to the champions of each country. But don’t listen to the Olympic Committee of every country, including Thailand,” said Polphoom.
Ready to wrap it up Love Muay Thai and bring Muay Thai to the international level It’s different.
