The first thing that Su Li-wen said to reporters after she grabbed a gold at the Universiade taekwondo competition was, "Did I play handsomely in the final?" Ha rather humourous question from the 27 year old veteran.
The Doha Asiad gold medalist and also the silver medalist in 2005 World Taekwondo Championships from Chinese Taipei won women's 63kg category after defeating Croatian player Josipa Kusanic.
"I'm happy to get the gold," said the veteran. What makes her happier is that she could enjoy the game of taekwondo again. She said that she had a lot of pressure after the Asiad as there is high expectation of her and she could not enjoy the competitions as she used to be. This matter had actually caused her stunning exit in the first round at this year's World Taekwondo Championships in Beijing.
After making a self-examination, she has decided to let the burden down and focus on the Universiade. She did it.
"I'm so glad to find that I can enjoy the competitions again," she said. she added that she would fight for the qualification for 2008 Beijing Olympics.
