After an emotional moment in the sparring ring, she brushed off her tears and set sights on an even greater goal. Lo Chia-ling Asian Games silver medalist We had worked very hard to try and win a gold medal, but in the end, we failed to achieve that. It is a real pity. But I need to refocus. I feel regret, but I will turn it into motivation to work harder for other competitions. Lo’s parents were in the front row in Hangzhou, cheering for their daughter. Lo Wen-hsiang Lo Chia-ling’s father There was a bit of a difference in her strength and her opponent’s. That’s something she’ll need to work on in the future. Lo plans to stay in China for training before the Taiyuan World Taekwondo Grand Prix in October, where she hopes to win qualification points for the Paris Olympics. Over in the under-53 category, Lin Wei-chun also made it to the final. Lin’s mother, Liu Chao-ching, is also a taekwondo athlete, who won gold at the World Games and Asian Championship. Lin Wei-chun Asian Games silver medalist In the first round against my South Korean opponent, her movements were very fast, so I was quite nervous. Although I was in the lead at the beginning, I got a bit careless in the last few seconds. Had I put on a better defense in the first round, I think the gold medal would’ve been mine. In her post-finals interview, Lin spoke with regret about her defeat. Toward the end of the first round, Lin was in the lead 6-5. But a roundhouse kick from her opponent just before the buzzer turned the score to 7-6, forcing Lin to settle for silver. Liu Chao-ching Lin Wei-chun’s mother Her opponent got points in the last three seconds. She completely overlooked that kick. It’s a pity. Though Lin missed out on gold, she still secured silver for Taiwan, marking a good start in her taekwondo career.
