Ready to kick butt and take names

Toni Rivero has just turned 20 yet she goes to Beijing having already experienced Olympic competition in Athens where she was eliminated in the semi-final repechage of the under 67kg category by the eventual silver medallist. Rivero’s most significant achievement so far was the silver medal she won at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha. However, she has established a record of consistent achievement at regional level having won twice at the South East Asian Games and secured her place in Beijing with a second-place finish at a special Olympic qualifying competition in Vietnam last year.

Here's something I wrote about Toni earlier in the year.
