By Ed Andaya, August 21, 2011, Shenzhen, China

SHENZHEN, China – The  Philippines will  not return  home empty-handed  in the 26th Summer Universiade, after all.

Samuel Thomas Morrison  of the Philippines made  history by winning the  country’s lone  medal  so far   – a silver --   in the men’s  taekwondo competitions at the Shenzhen  Coinference and Exhibition  Center here Saturday.

Morrison, the 21-year-old  campaigner from Far Eastern University who rose to prominence by winning the  gold medal in the 2010 Korea Open, swept his first four assignments   before losing  5-9  to  Kim Hun of South Korea in their gold medal match in the men’s -68 kg event

The 5-11 Filipino  champion put up a brave stand against  his Korean opponent during the three-round encounter.  After  scorelss first round, Morrison lost 2-6 in the second round  but  won  2-1 in the third orund. Morrison, however,  incurred two deductions against Kim’s only one deduction..

Morrison  reached the final by winning over  Wendell Grouby of  US Virgin Islands   by withdrawal in the round of 32, Christopher Dubois  of  France,  13-10, in the round-of-16,  Almas Mukamanov of  Kazakhstan,  10-2, in the quarterfinal,  and  Idulio Islas of Mexico, 5-4, in the semifinal.

            Kim made it all to way to the final by winning over  Thomas Auger of Austria, 13-0;  Joshua Tercero of CRC, 14-0; Levon Pashabezyan of Armenia,  14-2; and Cesar Mari Puerta of Spain,  2-1.  

            Morrison’s silver medal finish  brought a ray of hope for the 15-man taekwondo team sent here by the Federation  of School Sports Associations of the Philippines (FESSAP), headed by David Ong  and chef de mission Alvin Tai Lian.

            :We’re proud of Morrison’s achievement  It's  a silver medal that glitters like gold.  It’s  clearly a big honor for the country,” said Ong.

            2010 Kazakhstan Asian Championship  bronze medalist  Marlon Avenido, of University of Santo Tomas  also made his presence felt by beating Nuttapong Limvattana of Thailand, 4-3, in sudden death to  arranage a round-of-16 showdown against  Arman Yeremyan of Armenia, 4-3 winnver over  Fernando Rios of Spain.

            Four  other Filipino  campaigners  -- Jade Zafra, Anjelay Perez, Devy John  Singson,  Julian Mickey Cordero and Maria Cecilia Viray -- were not as fortunate, however.

 Zafra lost to  eventual gold medalist Marlene   Harnois of France in their round-of-15  encounter in the  women’s  -57kg.

            Zafra, the 21-year-old Univ ersity of Santo Tomas standout, who is best remembered for  winning the bronze medal in the 2010 Korea Open, won over  Natalia Zakhozha of  Ukraine by superiority   in the  preliminaries to set up a round-of-16 meeting with  Harnois.

Perez, at 18  one of  the youngest members of the Filipino  delegation,   won over   Thi Kim Chi Cao of Vietnam, 5-4, but lost to  eventual gold medalist  Anastasia Valueva of Russia, 9-9, in sudden death  in the women’s  46kg.

Singson  bowed to Yuma Matsui of Japan, 2-5, in the men’s -58 kg preliminaries, Cordero  succumbed to Hussein El Sayed of Egypt, 3-4, in  the men;s  54kg. preliminaries. and    Viray  yielded to Jae Ah Kim of Korea. in the women’s 49kg  preliminaries.  

Five other Filipino campaigners, led  by  2010 Guangzhou Asian Game men’s -74kg  bronze medalist Paul Romero and UAAP Season 73 Athlete of the Year Camille Manalo   in women’s -62 kg are also set to see action during the eight-day taekwondo competiiton.

Like Avenido,  Romero and Manalo also  come from UST.

Also  vying are  Christian Al de la Cruz ( men’s 74kg)  and Jose Anthony  Soriano ( men’s 87kg)  and Karla Jane Alava ( women’s 53kg).

In chess,  Angelica Dilim outclassed  Norhaida Hussin of Malaysia to riaser her score to 3.5 points on three wins, one draw and four losses in the 63-player women’s tournamnent at the Plum Blossoms Hall.

Dilim, however, is three fullpoints behind  eighth-round  leader IM Irina Vasilevich of Russia, who demolished WIM  Olga Kalinina of Ukraine.

Jan Roldan Oriendo lost  to  IM Alvaro Valdez of Chile while  Chrismar Tuazon bowed to  Cyril Jing Chua of Singapore  to remain in the lower half of the  86-player  standings  with 3.5 and two points , respectively, in the  men’s division.

.GM Li Chao   of China is the virtual champion with 7.5 points on seven wins and one draw.  GM Wang Yue of China and three other players are tied for seocnd fifth places with six points.
