Filipino taekwondo athlete Tachiana Keizha Mangin claimed the gold medal in the women’s -49kg division at the World Taekwondo Junior Championships in Chuncheon, South Korea.
Her triumph marked the end of a 28-year drought for the Philippines, as no Filipino competitor had won a gold medal in this event since Alex Borromeo’s victory at the inaugural championships in 1996.
Mangin’s victory adds a historic milestone to the country’s achievements in international martial arts.
