Higher proportion of anaerobic cells. Arguably the same reason there aren't any black swimmers.

Yeah don't really see many black swimmers, but I think there was one guy from US who won 50m free style silver.

i am sorry, but those taekwondo dances with those costumes look really silly.




edit: hm, when they actually fight instead of looking silly, its not too bad!

Taekwondo looks good. It seems to have a relatively sound scoring-system without too much potential for abuse compared to similar events (Boxing, diving, sync. disciplines, gymnastics, trampoline and to some degree judo and wrestling). It also include some rather interesting dances, not completely dissimilar to fencing.

Are people allowed to use their hands in any way to score or block kicks in taekwondo?
And just have to say, taekwondo at its highest level is really awesome to look at.

they did so in the final, both to block kicks and also more offensively to get the feet out of the way.

So a guy who was in my history class back at high school won a silver medal in sailing. Pretty sick. (Blair Tuke, for the record)

There is almost more cheating in Taekwondo than in Boxing.
