Go Toni!

Here's wishing the best of luck to Antoinette 'Toni' Rivero as she fights battles Sandra Saric from Croatia. Isn't that Vlade Divac's country?

They will meet at the Science and Technology University gym in Beijing tomorrow morning. Toni would need four straight wins to bag the gold and three for the silver.

According to Yahoo news, if Rivero defeats Saric, she will meet Hwang Kyung Seon. She is South Korea's two-time world champion. Rivero lost to Hwang four years ago during the Athens Olympics.

Philippine Taekwondo Association (PTA) president Robert Aventajado, said Rivero has become a more mature fighter since the setback. "Toni was only 16 in Athens," said the PTA head. "Besides, she was coming off a loss in the semifinals and had to fight Hwang right away with little rest. Hwang was a lot fresher."

Filipinos will surely pray hard to make Toni's presence be felt strongly in Beijing!
