DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) _ The Olympic trials are coming to Iowa. Des Moines has been selected as a host site for the Summer Olympic trials for tae kwon do.
The trials, set for April, will determine the final three spots on the four-member U.S. team headed for China in August.
The bouts will be held as part of USA Taekwondo's national juniors qualifying event on April 4th and 5th. The trials will mark what is believed to be the first time the state has hosted a final Olympic qualifying event. It comes less than three months before another, the Hy-Vee Triathlon in June.
