Mexico's taekwondo titans are hopping continents faster than you can shout “chagui”! Our Olympic hopefuls are on a whirlwind European adventure with their sights set on the Belgian G-2 International Taekwondo Open. And with them are the reigning Pan American champions, fresh from their triumphant showing at the Santiago 2023 games.

Leading the charge is the indomitable Daniela Souza Naranjo, a force to be reckoned with in the -49 kg division and our national team's shining star for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Daniela, who kicked off her year with a gold medal at the United States Open (because, of course, she did), is fresh off a training session at Mexico's esteemed CNAR facility.
