as been incredibly difficult due to the ongoing pandemic, leading to a loss of opportunities for competition and participation. However, one bright beacon of light lays ahead for competitors, in the name of the international World Games.
For many, they never thought they would see the day come when Muaythai became an Olympic sport. However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced this summer that after several years of efforts from the International Federation of Muaythai Associations (IFMA) and their affiliate sanctioning bodies, Muaythai (along with Kickboxing and Sambo) have finally been fully recognized. The time where athletes can compete in Muaythai at the Olympics has been tentatively estimated for before the end of this decade.
We are pleased to announce that Vinny Scotto has been appointed Chief Innovation Officer of the USMF.
