Wow amazing...dunno if anyone saw it...but in Taekwondo...

0853: CONTROVERSY IN THE TAEKWONDO! Doncaster's Sarah Stevenson clobbers double Olympic champion Chen Zhong with a kick to the head with seconds to go, but the judges apparently don't see it. Stevenson shrugs her shoulders, before the judges get together for a little chat - and then award the fight to the Chinese woman. Daylight robbery, that was home-town judging on a grotesque scale.

THE DECISION HAS JUST BEEN REVERSED! AMAZING!
