(Beijing, February 28) The "Good Luck Beijing" 2008 Taekwondo International Invitational Tournament will conclude its four-day competitions tomorrow at the Beijing Science and Technology University Gymnasium with the last two golds being up for grabs in the women's +67kg and men's +80kg events.

As the heaviest event among the women taekwondo events in Olympic competitions, the +67kg event will be staged tomorrow with the final to be held in the evening. China's double Olympic champion Chen Zhong ruled out of the tournament due to injury.

On the men's side, World Championships quarterfinalist Liu Xiaobo leads the Chinese team in the +80kg event, in which Liu could probably meet French veteran Pascal Gentil in the matches of top eight.
