Retired taekwondo legend Wu Jingyu is bringing the hype to Paris 2024! 🌟 The two-time Olympic gold medalist, who lit up the podium in Beijing 2008 and London 2012, shared her fiery support for China's next-gen athletes in an interview with CGTN Sports Scene. \"I’ll be cheering louder than anyone!\" she promised.
Wu, a living legend with 🥇🥇 Olympic wins, plus two World Championships and Asian Games titles, retired in 2021 but remains deeply connected to the sport. This year, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) invited her to Paris as a torchbearer and competition supervisor—a role she calls \"an honor.\"
Team China’s taekwondo squad has six fighters ready to kick their way to glory: Luo Zongshi (women’s 57kg), Guo Qing (49kg), Song Jie (67kg), and Zhou Zeqi (67+kg), plus Liang Yushuai (men’s 68kg) and Song Zhaoxiang (80+kg). Will they follow in Wu’s golden footsteps? 🤞
\"These athletes have trained like warriors,\" Wu said, channeling mentor vibes. \"Now it’s their time to shine.\" Let the matches begin!
