The Fiji Taekwondo Association has nominated two top athletes for the US Open Championship.

Association President Neelu Nand said Elizabeth Bernard and Sameer Ali will represent Fiji in the Championships.

Nand said these two athletes have been in top form this season and they also lead the Fiji Taekwondo team to next year's Mini Pacific Games in Cook Island.

Elizabeth Bernard this year won the silver medal in the US Open Championships and her aim is to do one better - and go onto win the gold medal.

The US Open Taekwondo championship will be held next year in February.
