Follow Up on injured Tae Kwon Do Olympic Athlete


Recommended Posts

As you propbably heard/read, Bertrand Cbongou Liango from Central African Republic was knocked out during his fight against Tuncay Caliskan, from Austria, in a quarterfinal match in the men's under 68kg division at taekwondo, Friday, Aug. 27, 2004. Cbongou was leading 4 - 1 when he was knocked unconscious. His head snapped back and he fell face-down to the mat. He lay motionless while being counted out and was carried off on a stretcher.

 

As a follow up to that:

Liango was released from Kat hospital in Athens on Saturday afternoon, the Greek health ministry said. He sustained a concussion.

 

Liango, 22, was unconscious but breathing as he was carried off and after a couple minutes he started moving his hands and regained consciousness, according to a doctor at the site.

Let's wish him the best for a speedy and complete recovery.

What chanell are theese on? I cant find it anywhere,

 

TV listings are posted on the NBCOlympics.com website. The last one in my area is tonight during the 11:30 Central time programming on NBC.

 

I've been catching the few TKD matches they show on CNBC. But what's bad about their listings is that it gives a starting time of the programming and a listing of several sports that will air during that time slot, but not exactly what time each will start. Today I had to watch 4 hours of other stuff before I could see 5 minutes of Tae Kwon Do. Then another two hours before another 5 minutes of TKD.
