Without him we, as family members of one of the NZ team participants would have not been able to follow this closely all of the things that happened from the daparture date, the flight and the progress of our NZ competitors during this World class event. I want to give our thanks to Neil Breen, ITFNZ World Champs 2003 editor, for such a wonderful job done. He also deserves a GOLD medal. Marisol & Gerry Dillen

I was introduced to Taekwando by Lewis at the Glenfield Leisure Centre gym, albeit a `taste' only.

This is a great site and I am impressed by the input. I like the photo of the team doing the haka on the podium. I would like a larger
picture of it to put in my lounge.

I don't know any of the rest of the team but I would like to congratulate those who have taken medals, and wish others who have yet to compete, all the best.

Anyways kick butt in sparring, its nice to know your fist will be in someone else's face this time :) Good luck Hong, sorry about patterns but I know in sparring noone will be able to ignore u. A great effort Kenny, hope you have fun over there. Frisky Thu and Lena good luck for the rest of the tournament. Go Carolina and Alex in sparring, hope all that hard work I see you guys do every week pays off.

Message to all the team, from Lawrence Mantjika's mum

Thinking of you all and praying for you. Hope those whose bags
got lost are not having to train in the nuddy - hope weather
good - and hope the jetlag and lost bags haven't brought the
'indomitable" Kiwi spirit down.

Good luck and have faith.
