Online, June 29, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Two decades ago at the age of 34, Lynnette Love took the Tae Kwon Do world by storm, returning to the Olympic mat after winning the gold in the 1988 Games. Her tremendous accomplishments landed her in the Guinness Book of World Records. And today this world Tae Kwon Do legend's life story is headed for the big screen.
Lynnette Love's competitive career spans over 14 years. Known in the Tae Kwon Do world for her towering height of 6'3, as a US National Taekwondo Team member Ms. Love won three World Championships, two Olympic Medals, 10 US National Championships and 5 Pan American titles.

In 1991, the United States Olympic Committee named Ms. Love Female Athlete of the year for all sports. In 1992, with the title of Team Captain under her belt, she was the only woman from the 88 team to return and medal for the U.S..
Soon after her retirement, Ms. Love coached the US National Team at the World Championships, World Cup and Pan Am Games and was named USOC Developmental Coach of the Year.
And now her famous words If I can make you think I'm King Kong, I've won the match." will be heard for years to come. Native Washingtonian Cherrelle eLan, of Lady eLan Films, approached Ms. Love in 2008 during the 20 year anniversary of Ms. Love's first Olympic win.
