                    [Title] => Taekwondo star set to retire?
                    [Summary] => 

Three-time Southeast Asian (SEA) Games taekwondo gold medalist Tshomlee Go will keep an altar date with long-time girlfriend Renee Ann Ortega in San Francisco in January and although he’s keeping his options open, it’s unlikely the University of Santo Tomas graduate will wear a dobok in an international competition again.

Marcial, a Filipino black belter based in San Mateo, California, flew in Sunday to watch three days of taekwondo action at the Cuneta Astrodome. His daughter Rachel is a world-class finweight and plans to compete at the CPJ Open here in February.

If any country was at a disadvantage, it was the Philippines, noted Marcial.

But even among our sports legends, there are very few whose recall is such that you know who you’re talking about just from their given names: Paeng, Bata, Lydia. There is one, however, whose name was, in itself, unique: Monsour.
