Olympic Taekwondo games


In this Olympic, all the former world champions did not get into the finals except Mark Lopez from USA who put up a pretty good match at the semi-final. Chu Mu Yen the first guy who won an Olympic Gold for Chinese Taipei at last Athen Olympic did not managed to get into the final this time but still he won a bronze. His comrade from Chinese Taipei put up a good match with the Korean at the 68kg semi final. Both were fast in their exchanges but at the end the Korean did a feign and scored another a point when the Taiwanese was lured to his move. At the final, it was the Korean who won Mark Lopez, the current World Champion. At the women's match, the games were exciting to watch too in fact they are more proactive in their attacks than some of the matches in the men's game. They were fast and they did nice kicks in the matches. For the women's 47kg Wu Jingyuan won the gold with the score of 1 against -1 at the final and for the women's 57kg Lim Su- Jeong won the gold.
