Mark Connolly Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 And another last second defeat for a British Taekwondo athlete. Bianca Walkden fought back after being behind for pretty much the whole fight, and also getting 8 penalties, to lead with 3 seconds to go, only to be booted in the head (technical term) on the buzzer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 18 hours ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Can't really blame the coach when she was gesturing to him to challenge. British taekwonders are brilliant at losing the match in the last five seconds. 18 hours ago, Mark Connolly said: Can't see Taekwondo-ing it replacing Hibsing it, sadly. Bianca Walkden manages it again. 24-22 up and concedes a 3 point head kick in the very last second in the SF. The top seed will fight for bronze later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The British lassies competing in the "try not to drown, whilst fannying about in a boat" race in floods of tears after her run is nearly twice as long as the person in first. If I got to the end without drowning I wouldn't be in tears she should look on the bright side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'm going to petition the IOC to reduce taekwando matches by five seconds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I've had enough of the BBCs pisspoor coverage and have paid the £30 for a year of Discovery+. At least I'll be able to watch as many shark documentaries as I want once the Olympics is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Just now, Left Back said: USA are no mugs in sevens. USA are an excellent side, but GB have been shite. I'd actually argue USA have another gear, not sure GB can come back against them, especially with Perry Baker out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
