On Saturday in Tokyo, Panipak Wongpattanakit, a fighter in the women's 49-kilogram class, captured Thailand's first taekwondo gold, after having won a bronze in Rio in 2016. Her father, Sirichai Wongpattanakit, a swimming coach, said he normally went to all her bouts, but the coronavirus pandemic prevented him from going to Tokyo. Panipak — who confusingly goes by the nickname "Tennis," while her brother is known as "Baseball" and her sister as "Bowling" — excelled in many sports, but taekwondo, with its alloy of quicksilver kicks and steely self-discipline, was the one that stuck. "I feel ecstatic that she has made her country proud," Sirichai said. NYT, 26 July |
