    SOUTH KOREAN BOXER PULLS OUT OF OLYMPICS

    The Associated Press
    August 19, 2008

    BEIJING: Lightweight boxer Baik Jong-sub of South Korea has pulled
    out of the Olympics with an injury just a few hours before his
    quarterfinal bout.

    Baik, who also reached the quarterfinals four years ago in Athens,
    failed to attend his medical exam on Tuesday morning. The South Korean
    team said Baik was ill, and the Yonhap news agency reported Baik had
    a chest injury.

    Baik's absence allowed his scheduled opponent, Armenia's Hrachik
    Javakhyan, to advance to Friday's semifinals, clinching a medal
    without a fight.
