Tuesday, April 15, 2003 excited to be Olympic coach The 10-time national champion will lead the U.S. squad into the Athens Games By Cindy Luis cluis@starbulletin.com The world is a calendar to Dae Sung Lee. April? It means the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. August? There's the Pan American Games in the Dominican Republic. If it's September, it must be Germany for the World Championships. In December, it will be Paris for the Olympic Qualifying Tournament. But it's August 2004 that has Lee the most excited. That is when the tae kwon do master will coach the U.S. team in the Olympic Games in Athens. "It's too exciting," said Lee, a graduate of Moanalua High School and the University of Hawaii. "I am very honored. There are a lot of great coaches in the United States, but our union thought I could do the best job. I have never been a world champion, but I am fortunate to have the gift to coach." It is a very logical step for the 44-year-old Lee, who has been with the U.S. national team in some capacity since the late 1970s, either as a player or staff member. Lee was the team trainer at the 1988 Olympics when taekwondo debuted as a demonstration sport in his native Korea, and an assistant coach at the 1992 Barcelona Games when taekwondo was again a demonstration sport. Taekwondo was not part of the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, but did become a medal sport four years later in Sydney. Lee was part of the U.S. staff that saw featherweight Steven Lopez become the first American to win an Olympic gold medal in taekwondo.

Green fights in the under 58 kilogram category, Brown under 80kg, Bainbridge under 67kg and Stevenson over 67kg. Stevenson narrowly missed out on bronze in Sydney four years ago and Green was a world silver medallist last year. GB won the right to send a full quota of four to Athens with strong displays in Olympic qualifying in February. "Sarah Stevenson and Paul Green, in particular, have shown their class at the World Championships in the past few years," said Team GB chef de mission Simon Clegg. "And all our taekwondo team will be looking to achieve significant results at the Olympic Games."
