Vincent Wu, Arielle Zamdvaiz, Jeff DiCiccio and Rebecca DiCiccio all qualified for the tournament in Ottawa, where they will take on opposing countries and fellow students from around the world. The teens range from age 13-17, and both boys and girls are put into different weight classes and divisions beginning with micro-weight sparring and light-weight sparring for the girls, while the boys are put into the welter-weight class. All four students had to take part in various tournaments around Canada before being accepted to challenge in the upcoming championship. Vicki DiCiccio, mother of both Jeff and Rebecca, said all four students have good experience under their belt. "They have all been doing it for a while now. My son has been taking part in taekwondo for three years now, and the others even longer for around four to seven years long," she said. "It's the first ever worlds so, as parents, we are nervous and don't really know what to expect," she added. "They told us it's pretty much like the Olympics but for simply taekwondo. It's definitely been a long haul for not only us, the kids too."
