Age: 25 Hometown: Sugarland, Texas
Event: Tae kwon do
The Drama: Lopez, going for a second straight Olympic title, has moved up to the welterweight (80 kg/176 lb.) division. He stars for the sport's first family: brother Jean, 30, is his coach; sister Diana, 20, is an Olympic alternate; Mark, 22, nearly faced big brother at the trials (he lost in the semis)
The Competition: Although it's a Korean sport, Cuba's Angel Matos Fuentes won the welterweight gold in Sydney. Newcomer Yousef Karami of Iran has also impressed.
