Asian Games: Taekwondo bets bag two more bronzes for Team Philippines

Taekwondo will account for two more bronze medals for the Philippines in the 2014 Asian Games even as the country remained without a gold medal as of Tuesday afternoon.

 

Samuel Morrison and Levita Ilao went all the way to the semifinals of their respective events before bowing out, pushing the Philippine total to two silvers and four bronzes.

 

Ilao fell to Li Zhaoyi of China in the women's -49 kg. semifinal, while Morrison lost his duel to Masoud Hajizavareh of Iran.

 

Two other Philippine taekwondo bets went home emptyhanded, with Nicole Cham (women's -53 kg.) losing to Thailand's Sarita Phongsri in the round of 16 and Kristopher Uy bowing to China's Chen Linglong in the quarterfinals. — JST, GMA News
