Spurred by a bit of luck, Skylar Park went the distance to reach the Olympic podium in Paris.
PARIS —
Park, who fights in the 57-kilogram division, won her morning bout 2-0 over Dominika Hronova of Czechia before dropping her afternoon quarterfinal 2-0 to Kim Yujin of South Korea. The fourth-seeded Park defeated Turkey's Hatice Kubra Ilgan 2-0 in the repechage to reach one of the two bronze-medal matches in Olympic taekwondo, and then won her second straight match to ascend the podium.
"Those feelings still arose," Park said Thursday."The emotions still came. It was just that I knew how to deal with them."Jae coached all three children — Skylar and younger brothers Tae-Ku and Braven — at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile.
