Tae: China's Luo breaks Greek hearts

By Barnaby Chesterman

ATHENS, Aug 28 Reuters - World taekwondo champion Luo Wei of China won the Olympic
gold medal in the women's under 67kg class, beating Greece's Elisavert Mystakidou on Saturday.

Luo won the final by a score of 8-6.

Roared on by a passionate home crowd, Mystakidou led 4-3 going into the final round
but she could not fend off the champion's late onslaught.

South Korea's Hwang Kyung-sun put in a stirring middle round, scoring four unanswered
points, to outclass Guatemala's Heidy Juarez 5-2 to win bronze.
