More Olympic shenanigans

(Posted 16:06:24 on 23rd August 2008 by Mr O)
Today was a controversial day in the Olympic TaeKwonDo championships, words you'd not normally put together.

Earlier in the day a British fighter had clearly kicked her Chinese counterpart in the face and didn't get the points awarded. A protest was made and the fight decision was over turned much to the dismay of the local crowd. The poor British girl was roundly booed by the crowd through her next two bouts.

Thinking that was bad enough, Angel Matos from Cuba decided to take his protest one step further and took out his frustrations directly on a referee.
