Tachiana Mangin.
TACHIANA Kezhia Mangin of the Philippines is one of the most talked-about names in ASEAN taekwondo today.
She will see action in the 33rd Southeast Asian Games set to formally open today on December 9, Tuesday in Bangkok.
Mangin, an 18-year-old prodigy, won the 2024 World Junior Champion, and a former Round of 16 finisher at the World Championships.
She narrowly fell to Tokyo Olympic silver medalist Adriana Iglesias.
Many experts regard Mangin as one of the top challengers for the SEA Games gold.
With her fast, precise, and fearless fighting style, she could be the key factor that turns this division into one of the most intense showdowns of the tournament.
The other PH team members are:
Baby Jessica Canabal
Merica Lillyn Chan
Juvenile Faye Crisostomo
Laila Delo
Nusair Lao
Clarence Sarza
Janna Dominique Oliva
Jocel Lyn Ninobla
King Nash Alcaro
