Sangina(height 5'3", wt 148 lbs) won her Gold in Asian Championships(Melbourne 1997) and she is playing with a player from Tai-Pei (height 5'5", wt 146 lbs), so we have a chance of victory. But that still puts us on Quarterfinal, after winning which we have a 3 in 4 chance of getting a medal. I think there is a hope. Old news from Nation.com.np: Six corporate houses, Dabur Nepal, ICTC, Jyoti Group, Nabil Bank, Nepal Lever and Vaidya Group have appointed taekwondo star Sangina Baidhya as their brand ambassador. They promise to raise money for her participation in the upcoming Olympic Games in Athens. Sangina is the first official Nepali athlete scheduled to take part in the Olympics, though Bidaan Lama won a medal in taekwondo during the demonstration match at the Seoul Olympics in 1988. SanginaĆ½s track record has been stellar in recent years. She won golds at two straight SAF Games and other Asian championships. She will be training in Korea prior to her participation at the Olympics
