With the position of the most beautiful woman in the country, Michelle Tau can participate in showbiz, can find business opportunities to change her life.

But despite reaching glory, Michelle Tau still sticks to the sport that is in her blood: Taekwondo. This girl born in 1997 comes from a family rich in Taekwondo tradition. She inherited her talent and passion from her father, Mr. John Molise Tau. This is a legendary Taekwondo of Lesotho.

But she was not taught much by her father because when Michelle Tau was young, her father passed away. However, he still managed to give inspiration and talent to his young daughter. "The fact that I pursued a modeling career and then taekwondo confused many people," the 27-year-old athlete said.

Besides, her father John Pau's massive medal collection further encouraged Michelle to follow her father's path.

And since then, this girl has determined to pursue a top career. Thanks to her constant efforts, she gradually rose to become the number one Taekwondo athlete in the southern African country. She won 2 bronze medals at the African Taekwondo Championship and 1 bronze medal at the African Games.

In the recent qualifying campaign, Michelle Tau excelled in overcoming many opponents to win a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics in the weight category under 49 kg. When she arrived in Paris, she confidently declared that she could become the first Lesotho athlete to win a medal at the Olympics.

"This is something no one has ever done, but I'm challenging myself to do this, I'm dedicated and determined to do the best I can," she said. "I'm a very soft person. I'm very shy. But when I get in the ring, I go into beast mode."
