Taekwondo needs to move with the times 8:16pm on 24 Aug 2008 Martin, I did not say or infer that 'C S' should be/is the sole determinant etc etc. My point is that a mistake was made and it was rightly rectified when we all expected it to stand. According to the live statement read out in the arena, there is a rule that allows this in TKD.
Compare this attitude to that commonly seen on football pitches reflected in the frankly embarrassing post-mortem by the UK Athletics Perfomance Dir.
As for trouser ferreting, I am sure there are good reasons for incl it the OG, if not least to ensure that Yorkshire gets a mention.......
Taekwondo needs to move with the times 6:15pm on 24 Aug 2008 Overall, I believe that TKD did itself an awful lot of credit by reinstating Stevenson. The apparent good grace with which the Chinese delegation accepted this was a sporting joy to behold; far more edifying than the UK Athletics Performance Director moaning about UK athletes being bumped during the relay H/O.
However, the disgraceful behaviousr of one poor TKD player took the focus away from this triumph of sportsmanship.
Maybe look at improving TKD but any sport that can display such corithian spirit against a home nation in the Olympics deserves a place in the Games.
Can we imagine footballers accepting a similar decision with such grace....?
Dramatic athletics - but Britain beware 4:17pm on 24 Aug 2008 #36 I sincerly hope you are a WUM.
Your ignorance about the effort and commitment required to be succesful in sports other than athletics beggars belief.
I would venture you wouldn't last 10 mins on an ergo, you would drop out after a couple of mins of circuits or weights with Ainsle and co and I can't imagine how you would suffer doing a 4000mt cycling pursuit (without your legs...)
Aprt from that, a good comment........
Gold confirms Cooke's cycling talent 10:04am on 11 Aug 2008 As a Taff aand a competitive cyclist I take great exception to the shameful coments by a fellow Welshman regarding Wales/Scotland/GB...
This is The Olympics FFS where we all compete under the Union Jack. If you don't appreciate that simple fact, don't watch..
I couldn't care less where the Brit competitors are from, I just want them all to win at whatever they are competing in...
