Ivan Patzaichin :ROU . Won 7 medals at the Olympics (4 golds)between 1968-1984 which is more than any other canoeist has ever achived.

Over the years, I have thought about Ivan Patzaichn for an interesting fact - He was one of just 6 men, I believe, who won a gold medal in both 1980 and 1984.

      Most people know taekwondo from watching the Olympics. However, only sparring is recognized in the Games - poomsae (forms) is completely left out. It's time for the Olympic program to acknowledge poomsae and give taekwondo's artistic discipline the recognition it deserves.   Sign this petiton: Make Poomsae an Olympic Sport

      Meanwhile Trump is - again - at the edge of legality by threatening a journalist/media company with jail time if not giving up a source for information around the US airman rescue in Iran. Nice and public on live TV.
