As for the story of the family (dad, mom, brothers, sister), check any of the thousands of articles in the newspapers, TV news reports, morning TV, etc. The Lopez family has been the talk of the sports world for the last few months.

Starting with the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, a total of 32 medals were up for grabs. Eighteen countries took home at least one medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, compared with 13 nations at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Korea took home four gold medals out of a total of eight, reaffirming its supremacy in the sport. Mexico came next with two gold medals, followed by host China with one gold and one bronze. Iran took home one gold. The United States followed with one silver and two bronzes, while Turkey earned one silver and one bronze. Canada, the Dominican Republic, Greece, Italy, Norway and Thailand each clinched one silver. Croatia and Chinese Taipei took two bronzes each. Eight countries – Afghanistan, Brazil, Cuba, France, Great Britain, Kazakhstan, Nigeria and Venezuela – managed to grab one bronze. Afghanistan, which qualified for the Beijing Olympic taekwondo competition for the first time in its Olympic history, clinched its first-ever medal at the Olympic Games. On the fourth and final day of the four-day taekwondo competition on Aug. 23, Mexico=92s Maria del Rosario Espinoza, the first placer at the 2007 WTF World Taekwondo Championships, outpoints Norway=92s Nina Solheim, the bronze medalist at the WTF World Taekwondo Qualification Tournament, in the women=92s +67kg final match to win the gold medal. Brazil=92s Natalia Falavigna, the fourth placer in the same division at the 2004 Athens Olympics, and Great Britain=92s Sarah Stevenson, in her third Olympic appearance, each won the bronze medal in the same division. In the men=92s +80kg final match, Korea=92s Cha Dong Min brushed aside a stiff challenge from Greece=92s Alexandros Nikolaidis, the silver medal winner at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, for the gold medal. The bronze went to Kazakhstan=92s Arman Chilmanov, the first placer at the Asian Taekwondo Qualification Tournament, and Nigeria=92s Chika Yagazie Chukwumerije, the second finisher at the African Taekwondo Qualification Tournament. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://the-dojang.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/the_dojang Copyright 1994-2008: Ray Terry and http://MartialArtsResource.com Standard disclaimers apply.
