CHINESE TAIPEI.
The Chinese Taipei team have been responsible for a number of excellent players on the World and Olympic circuit. Chinese Taipei mainly produce a great number of good Light weight players in Fin and Fly weights, but have most of their successes from the womens divisions. They are also regarded as to have one of the best Junior teams on the World circuit.

Chu Mu Yen is one of the most talented Taekwondo players around. With countless major championship medals under his belt he is seen as one of the top five players in Fin weight in the World and now of course one of the top five Fly weight players in the World. Amazingly he won his first World Championships Gold medal in the Fly weight catagory destroying all opposition. Many are now eager to see how he will perform in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games as he secured his place by winning Gold in the World Qualifiers. He seemed to be plagued by bad luck in the sense that every time he got to a final in Fin weight he loses to a stronger player and as his record shows he has only won one Fin weight Gold in 2001. With the 2004 Olympic Games Gold medal around his neck he has proved to be one of the most successful flyweights of our time.

Huang is an unpredictable yet excellent player who has undoubted talent and skill. With countless opens under his belt he is mainly seen on the Asian circuit. With an exciting bronze medal placing in the Olympics Huang looks promising for the future. In the 2001 World Championships however he was unfortunate to be beaten by Kang Nam Won from Korea as he lost by a draw on 6:6. However over the last year he has proved superbly strong by winning Gold in the Asian Games and the World Championships with an exciting quarter final battle against the Korean Bantam weight. He attended the World Taekwondo Olympic Qualifiers in Paris, France competing in Olympic Feather weight division -68 but failed to qualify. However he sucurred his ticket to Athens by winning the bronze at the Asian Qualification tournament and has been playing at -67 all season to prepare himself for the games. His Silver medal win at the Olympic Games was astounding as he beat some seasoned Feather and Light weights along the way. However the strength, determination and play of Hadi Saei proved to much for him in the end. He has quoted that he will retire after the Games but with the taste of Olympic glory in his mouth, who knows we may see him in Madrid next year!
