(April 3, 2021) - Due to the recently announced Sr. Pan American Championship, USATKD will host an open fight off event to name the Sr. Pan Am Championship Team the weekend of May 8, 2021 in conjunction with the -57 Olympic alternate fight off in Colorado, Colorado Springs at the National Center of Excellence. Schedule will accommodate athletes who intend to participate in both events.
 
The Sr. Pan Am Championships is a World Taekwondo G-4 Level event and will be held in Cancun, Mexico June 4-9, 2021.
