Olympic Malaysia’s Che Chew Wan lost in Taekwondo
First of all, would like to apologize for my typo in the last post. It’s not Semi-final, but Quarter-final. Was rushing out. =_= My bad. I’ve changed the title.
But it doesn’t matter anymore. Our country’s final hope for a medal has now gone. Our Taekwondo representative Che Chew Wan has lost to a Korea-born Norwegian. 3-1 was the final score. Here’s the report – http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/TK/C73/TKW167301.shtml#TKW167301
Her opponent wasn’t that good…..played defence and counter-attack. The referee penalised the opponent 4 times, minus 2 points (otherwise it would be 5-1).
Well, lost is lost. Good try though.
That brings an end to our country’s fight for another medal in the Beijing Olympic 2008. Kudos to those who’ve tried their best but I’m sure our country can do better.
Hope our country can do better in the Olympic 2012 (come on people, Thailand and Indonesia have 1 gold each! ).
UPDATE: She lost again during the match with the Egyptian Abd Rabo Noha. If she’ve won, she could still stand a chance of winning a bronze. But she didn’t. She lost 5-1. Here’s the match report – http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/TK/C73/TKW167352.shtml#TKW167352
UPDATE: The Cuban who got disqualified for taking too long in nursing his injured toe, should be banned for life for kicking the referee. How disgraceful!

Yeah, we only got the one and only silver. Hope for the first elusive gold in London 2012. Will that happen?

She’s still in the running for a bronze medal in the repechage rounds if her previous opponent from Norway gets into the final. Next match is at 6pm I think.

@ Rosli
We never know. I think we have a better chance if they introduce SQUASH in 2012.
@ DeltaP
5-1 somemore….worse than the first round.
She lost
