Official Qualifier for the U.S. National Team
The month of February will be filled with tears – not from Valentine’s Day fails, but from tears of joy as we root for the winning athletes at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games! The United States Muay Thai Federation (USMF), the National Governing Body of U.S. Muay Thai is watching the Olympics closely, but for different reasons: They have their eye on being full-fledged members of the Olympic Team USA!!!! The USMF is the sole federation recognized by the IOC-recognized International Federation of Muaythai Amateur (IFMA). USMTO West competitors will be RANKED in the national database, and certain exceptional athletes may receive an invitation to represent the United States at the international level! RANKED athletes who are MEMBERS of the USMF will receive special consideration for the USMF national team! The easiest way to recognize a USMF approved event is to look for the official USMF “Ranked Event” logo. Simply put, if an event isn’t recognized by the USMF, you might miss your chance to earn Olympic Gold someday.
