NIA ABDALLAH:FEMALE OLYMPIC FEATHER:SILVER

Nia Abdallah USA is a new fighter on the international Taekwondo circuit. She fought at her first Taekwondo international at the Pan American Games where she won a bronze. She won her Olympic ticket by beating the American favourite at home, Diana Lopez, under much controversy. She then won a bronze at the Pan Am Qualifier to ensure her place in Athens. Nia is very tall for her weight class and is a very long legged fighter who uses this to her advantage. She often goes for head shots in order to tally up a great score. However she was outclassed in the final of the Olympics by Korea's Jang Ji Won but there is still plenty to see in the future from Nia Abdallah.
