In Jeong Lee - Best of the Best


Today Indo Korean Taekwondo Academy  pays tribute to one of the greatest athletes I ever came across in the sport aspect of taekwondo - IN JEONG LEE. A Korean national, 3 times Silver medallist at the World Taekwondo Championships -in 2007,09 & 12. Lee In Jong story is an inspirational one for all the taekwondo athletes around the world and reinstates that age is just a number. In Jeong was the Silver medalist at the 2007 World taekwondo Championship , however missed a chance to qualify for the Beijing Olympic Games 2008 after loosing in the Final Match selection for the Korean team. However that did not stop her from following her dreams and she made a comeback with the National team in 2009 and yet again won a Silver medal at the 2009 Copenhagen World Championships. However her Olympic dream was far from diminshed and she became the Oldest player to make it to the national team at the LONDON Olympic games 2012 aged 30.She lost the Bronze medal match  after the scores were tied and failed to score in the suddden death round and eventualy lost the bronze medal 7 -6.But as some win medals and some win hearts, and In Jeong has truly won a lot of hearts through her dedication, passion and humbleness. In Jeong Lee might have not won a Olympic medal but she has won hearts and we believe thats what real sportsperson does. By winning a Silver medal again at this years world Championship at the Mexico World Championship, In Jeong has proved that "Winning is a habbit and not a one time thing " &The Olympic games was just one bad day
of her playing career. IN jEONG WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST.   Hwaiting !!!!!!!! :-)
