If not for the fact GB seem to be pretty damn good at it, I'd be calling for Taekwondo to be removed as an Olympic sport - immediately.
Not to shit on it as a discipline or anything - it's pretty tense...but it has to be just about the most fucking nonsensical and infuriating to watch sport I've yet seen at an Olympics (aside from Pentathlon perhaps). Maybe if results had gone more our way I'd feel differently. FFS though I'm just so pissed off with taekwondo by this point! More than happy to wait another four years to see it.
Anyway, come on Mo!
Couldn't disagree more, I've loved the Taekwando. What exactly do you find illogical about it? And we've been one if the top performers in it with Gold, Silver and bronze. It should have two Golds though. Jade Jones was a pleasure to watch, so clearly better than everyone else in her weight. She just toyed with them.
So glad Brazil won the Olympic football because there just isn't enough other football played around the world.

Modern Pentathlon seems a bit of a crazy event. Reminds me of "Its a knockout" from the 70's - only thing missing is Stuart Hall in a pair if furry boots.
Future quiz question: "In which Olympics did all the medalists in the women's 800 metres all have testicles?"
It's a farce, it's known Semenya has undescended testicles and male levels of testerone. It's an unfair advantage to the hermaphrodites and the woman can't compete with them.
The women who won the medals have all been tested and are women, all can get pregnant and have babies
That is not her fault tho. Thats called nature dude therefore she should not be discriminated against in my view.
