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.

                    [Summary] => Three-time Southeast Asian (SEA) Games taekwondo gold medalist Donnie Geisler said the other day he is retiring from active competition in the sport that has been his passion for 20 years.


Geisler, 27, claimed his third SEA Games gold medal by beating Pativat Thongsalap, 7-6, in the lightweight finals at the Cuneta Astrodome last Monday. On the way to the finals, he trounced contenders from Myanmar and Laos convincingly.

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.
