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. | ||

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. There is almost more cheating in Taekwondo than in Boxing. | ||
