Anastasija Zolotic is the first American woman to win Olympic gold in Taekwondo
From CNN's Matias Grez
Sergei Salnikov, Tsitsipas' paternal grandfather, was a footballer and part of the Soviet Union national team that was crowned Olympic champion 65 years ago."My mom told me stories of his career and how he got it [gold] ... he kind of inspires me in a way. I know what kind of athlete he was, with all the achievements and all the trophies. I’m proud of him.
“I’m happy with the way the game evolved," he said."I got the game back into my hands, especially after having such a poor first set.”
