 | Taekwondo decision reversedAnd seeing the evidence I should think so. The British woman clearly hit the other woman in the head, I mean she nearly took it off. That is the second match with a Brit against a Chinese fighter where the Brit has not been given points I think and the commentators have thought were good. Incidentally I used to do Taekwondo, wish I knew it was going to become an Olympic sport. I could have been the one there  |

| Re: Taekwondo decision reversedSorry for a slight hijack of your thread -null- but since its about Taekwondo I thought I would post it here instead of making a new thread, hope thats ok? Just read that a Cuban fighter tried to kick a referees head off due to he did not like the referees judgment!  I don't know much about this sport but what i could read it was all fair and square.. the Cuban fall down after an attack from his opponent and according to the rules he has 1 minute to get back up, he didn't and the referee removed him from the competition.. for doing his job he almost got his head kicked off! I am glad the referee has a 7 Dan (think its called the same in english!).. should be Master class anyway.. he was able to pull away enough to not get seriously injured, still had to be taken to the hospital and get 4 stitches!Here is the article on.. BBC SPORT | Olympics | Taekwondo | Matos rage overshadows Cha gold I have heard of bad losers but this has to take the price! Cheers Tom |

| Re: Taekwondo decision reversedIt was quite funny how the commentator was talking about the sport and the honesty and "clean competition" beforehand. |
