Taekwondo at the 2004 Athina Summer Games:

Chen Shih-Hsien of Taipei had never placed at the World Championships previously. In her first round match, she defeated Nepal's Sangina Baidya, 4-0, scoring most of her points near the end of a closely fought bout. She barely won her next three matches as well, to win the gold medal. In the final she fought Yanely Labrada, who was the silver medal winner at the 2003 World Championship. Labrada was favored, but Chen eked out a 5-4 victory.
