Charlotte Rose Craig (born February 2, 1991, in Riverside, California[1]) was a member of the U.S. 2008 Summer Olympic team competing in Taekwondo in the 49 kg (108 lb) division.
Her doctors told her parents to have her not participate in hard contact sports.
At first, they had her wear extra padding to protect her only kidney, but soon she started to work without it.
Charlotte had trained with Jimmy Kim, a 1988 Olympic Gold Medalist in taekwondo.
Charlotte and her mother used to drive 90 minutes from Murrieta to Laguna Niguel four times a week to train with Kim.
