Korea update 4 – SILVER Medal

After eliminating her American opponent, Adel lost her fight in the last second to her Chinese opponent. She scored a point exactly at the end of the match, although Adel was dominating and chasing her all the way to the end. A well deserved SILVER for Australia.

Korea update 1

We have arrived in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, from there we’ve continued our journey for another 3 hours by bus, up in the high mountains. The new Taekwondo Park World Headquarters is situated in Muju County in North Jeolla Province, the birthplace of Taekwondo. The 570 acres area has been designed to prepare the body, inspire the mind, and complete the spirit, – and it does. The opening ceremony was uplifting and inspiring, – it is a real privilege to be here.
