On today Taipei Times, we could read: “…Defending Olympic taekwondo champion Chu Mu-yen (朱木炎) and his girlfriend, Yang Shu-chun, (楊淑君) failed in their bids for gold in Beijing yesterday, but Taiwan did not finish empty-handed as Chu grabbed a consolation bronze medal after victory in the repechage…”
Of course many expected a gold medal. But still, a bronze medal is already great.
Let’s not forget we are talking of the top world competition!
But then, in the same paper, we could read: “…After the tournament from Beijing, where he was watching his son fight, Chu’s father, Chu Yao-lung (朱耀龍), said: “I would like to apologize to everyone back in Taiwan…”
Apologize for what?
For his son to be the third greatest?
I don’t know if his father really said that, but what was written in the newspaper is, for me, too much…
Unbelievable…
Beside, it is just sport and game…
