Excellent! Thanks for the link and info. :asian:
I'm just waiting to find out how our boy and 2000 Olympic gold medalist Steven Lopez from Texas performed today.

It's unfortunate that the Pan Am Games' martial arts (TKD, Karate and Judo) results, or the results from all of the sports in the games for that matter are not more readily available. If you're not on the 'net then you're screwed until the next day's papers come out... :shrug:
