My Favorite Athlete Lee Dae Hoon

By: Kibi/grade 8th

Lee Dae Hoon is a professional WTF (WORLD TAEKWONDO FEDERATION), athlete. He’s one of the best Taekwondo athlete. He’s 27 years old. He was born in Seoul, South Korea on February 5, 1992.

He is one of my favorite Taekwondo athlete among others. Why is he my favorite athlete? Because he’s one of the best Taekwondo athlete. He wins a lot of gold medals. His first gold medal was when he won the international championship 2010 ASIAN GAMES in Guangzhou. He also won 2014 ASIAN GAMES in Incheon and 2018 ASIAN GAMES in Jakarta. That was only his ASIAN GAMES medal. He also got the WTF World Championship title at 2011 Gyeongju (Gold Medal), 2013 Puebla (Gold Medal), 2017 Muju (Gold Medal) and sadly, he got silver at 2019 Manchester. He also got the Olympic medal but sadly, he didn’t get the gold one. His medal at the Olympic was at 2012 London (Silver) and 2016 Rio De Janeiro (Bronze). What I like about him is he never gives up no matter who is his rival. He doesn't care how good the rival is. That’s why he’ll always be my motivation even though I don’t really like Taekwondo. When I’m lazy, I always tell to myself that you have a goal to achieve. My goal is to be an athlete like Lee. I always wanted to be like Lee, but without training and hard work, that's impossible. I think no one can be a successful person without hard work, That's what I think. That's why when I’m injured, sometimes I keep practicing because I believe success comes from hard work. No matter how bad you are, if you keep pushing forward, you can achieve your hardest goal in your life. My name is Kibi. I'm in grade 8 at Petra Alpha School. Thank you!

Korean athlete, cool!
