Malaysia Taekwondo in Olympic Quarter Final !
Watched our Malaysia’s Taekwondo representative (the only one left), Che Chew Wan fought against her young opponent from Uzbekistan Karimova Evgeniya. It was a tough match. Che went down 0-1 in the first round. Her younger opponent was very fast and very aggressive.
But in the second round, she dominated 4-0. Pinpoint accuracy kicks (2 round house resulted in 1 point each and an axe kick to the face resulted in 2 points) helped her to regain the lead in the match. 4-1 the secore in the second round.
In the final round, her younger opponent became desperate. And of course, when you’re desperate…..you’ll end up becoming very very aggressive. =_= And the shriek…..(not shout, mind you).….kinda scary from the Uzbekistan youngster. Che only managed to score once (fortunately) as it was quite obvious she was a bit tired. Her opponent managed 3 points.
Final score 5-4 to Che Chew Wan.
Here’s the match report – http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/TK/C73/TKW167402.shtml#TKW167402
She’ll be fighting the Korean-born Norwegian Solheim Nina at 3pm in the quarterfinal. It’ll be a difficult match since the Norwegian is quite a good fighter. Good luck to our fellow Malaysian!
Go go go Malaysia, go go go Che Chew Wan.
