Bush was attending an event in Beijing for U.S. Olympic athletes and their families where he met with Steven, Mark and Diana Lopez, who make up three-quarters of the U.S. taekwondo team competing at the games in Beijing. He praised the Chinese for doing a great job at the opening ceremony and offered words of encouragement to the Lopez siblings before posing for photographs with them. The Lopez siblings, who are from Texas, are the first three siblings to qualify for a U.S. Olympic team since 1904.
