Sarah Stevenson in the Taekwondo Women's +67kg scored a definate head shot which should have got her a 2-1 against the cheating Chinese.
Boooo!
Boooo!
We woz robbed!

What a frigging shambles. How on earth could the judges have missed that? Not only was the foot-to-head contact clear, but the Chinese fighter's head snapped back quite obviously as well.
Poor judges
Not anymore. They're probably quite rich now.
No idea how the scoring system works, there are many kicks in many matches i've seen that definitely landed but somehow they did not hit hard enough to score a point.
Crying about doesnt change shit, are you surprised after the biased judging all Olympiad
The expression on the Chinese woman's face also said that she knew she'd been beaten.
Daft judging system.
GET IN!!!
result reversed GBR WIN!!!

Justice is done. The Chinese fans aren't happy.
what a joke. you have to feel sorry for the chinese girl as well.
Sod the Chinese fans....they knew their fighter had lost.
It does seem a daft scoring system and hopefully it will be looked at making improvements to it.
Come on Sarah, don't blow it now!

You can understand Mandarin? Are you watching the CCTV feed?
Scratch her eyes out, Sarah!
The BBC almost seem to want to see a riot.
Nothing happened in the end.

Reminds me of Simpsons:
Jay: How can you vote for Burns' movie?
Krusty: Let's just say it moved me...to a bigger house! Oops, I said the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet.

At least she will now have a period of time to prepare for the next fight.
The better lass won. I could have done without hearing all her excuses.
Seem like valid reasons to me...certainly wasn't an ideal preperation was it.
