TEAM GB’s CADEN CUNNINGHAM WINS SILVER IN TAEKWONDO

WHEN THINGS SEEM DIFFICULT IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD, IT’S SOMETIMES NICE TO SEE WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN POLITICS ARE LEFT AT THE DOOR – LIKE AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES, SO LET’S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE IMAGES OF WHEN TEAM GB’s CADEN CUNNINGHAM WON A SPECTACULAR SILVER MEDAL IN THE TAEKWONDO IN THE +80kg EVENT IN PARIS. HE WAS ON TRACK FOR GOLD (LITERALLY UNTIL THE LAST FOUR SECONDS), WITH IRAN’S ARIAN SALIMI CUTTING SOME FINAL SHAPES IN THE LAST FEW SECONDS, THEREBY SECURING THE GOLD.

THERE WAS NO LACK OF SPORTING SPIRIT AFTERWARDS, WITH BOTH GENTS TAKING TIME TO ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OTHER’S SPORTING PROWESS AND THE CROWD, WHO HAD BEEN TREMENDOUS! (THIS IS USUAL IN TAEKWONDO APPARENTLY, AS IT IS A VERY RESPECTFUL DISCIPLINE.)
