    Awesome, really well done. This is the sport of the Koreans and to beat them is amazing considering they have dominated for who knows how many years.
    Now I hope they can do the same in the Olympics.

                    so sweeeet!!!
                    IRI's politics is no different than handling a pressure cooker ..... As the pressure builds up, you slowly let the steam out just a tad bit so that you don't see overflow, and once the pressure from below is less, you put the lid down again and raise the temperature.

                      And the women's team came fourth in the championship.

                      "In the women's category, Iranian taekwondo athletes finished in fourth place for the first time. Fatemeh Nemati claimed the first ever gold medal and Soheila Sayyahi took the bronze.

                      Chinese Women Team clinched the championship with three gold medals, one silver and two bronze. South Korea and Chinese Taipei came in second and third places, respectively. "
