ATHENS, Aug. 26 (Xinhuanet) -- Chu Mu Yen collected the second Olympic gold for Chinese Taipei here on Thursday, beating Mexican Francisco Salazar 5-1 in the men's 58kg taekwondo final.

    The first-ever Olympic gold for Chinese Taipei came from Chen Shih Hsin through her victory in the women's under 49kg taekwondo final about ten minutes ago.

    Chu, the gold medalist of the 2003 world championships, saw a goalless tie with Salazar, whose best result was the third place in the 1997 world championships, in the first round.

    From the second round, Chu's accurate and flash kicks earned five points for him against one point for Salazar, who fought fiercely in the last minute, even using the flying kicks.

    However, Chu won in the end. Enditem
