Yes you got that right, we have quite a few teens who are making it big in the Olympics this year. I already came across more than 25 U.S. teens and while I'll try to introduce all of them in days to come, let me start off with this 17 year old Tae Kwon Do prodigy.
Charlotte Craig, a four-time Junior Olympic Taekwondo Champion, got her first taste of Taekwondo when she accompanied her father and brother to their Taekwondo sessions at just 2 years of age. Three years later, she was already taking lessons. And the rest as they say is history.
In addition to her medals at the U.S. Junior Olympic Championships, she earned a gold medal at the Junior Pan American Championships in Aruba. Charlotte took 1st place at the 2007 Pan Am Games Trials as well as the Olympic Trials Phase 1, and won herself a spot on the Olympic team. She is competing as a flyweight in the Being Olympics.
