Mangin is rising star in PH taekwondo

Tachiana Mangin.

TACHIANA Kezhia Mangin of the Philippines is one of the most talked-about names in ASEAN taekwondo today.

She will see action in the 33rd Southeast Asian Games set to formally open today on December 9, Tuesday in Bangkok.

Mangin, an 18-year-old prodigy, won the 2024 World Junior Champion, and a former Round of 16 finisher at the World Championships.

She narrowly fell to Tokyo Olympic silver medalist Adriana Iglesias.

Many experts regard Mangin as one of the top challengers for the SEA Games gold.

With her fast, precise, and fearless fighting style, she could be the key factor that turns this division into one of the most intense showdowns of the tournament.

The other PH team members are:

Baby Jessica Canabal Merica Lillyn Chan Juvenile Faye Crisostomo Laila Delo Nusair Lao Clarence Sarza Janna Dominique Oliva Jocel Lyn Ninobla King Nash Alcaro Aljai Aynaga Kurt Bryan Bartbosa Kenneth Riley Buenavides Dave Cea Ian Matthew Corton Justin Kobe Macario Patrick King Perez Rodolfo Reyes Jr. Darius Venerable Jeus Gabriel Derick Yape
