It's a shame considering how much time and personal sacrafice was involved.<BR/><BR/>I have prviously competed as a track athlete and currently compete in taekwondo and I instruct. Thus, I have first hand knowledge of the bias calls often made by the judges. Often their decisions are already decided prior to the event; unlike track you either demonstrate victory or you loose in you arena.<BR/><BR/>Whch brings me to my last point; what's with all this screaming and gesticulation towards the judges trying to influence a point. It was obvious early on in o/t that Lopez was tring to steal a point by doing just that. And she did just that on the decisive point by kicking and TOUCHING Nia's arm and immediately turning around; screaming with joy therby influencing an already biased judging panel. Such antics at this level should not be tolerated and should be penalized as per the rules.<BR/><BR/>Nia, you area agreat champ I have followed your career sence the last Olympics. I hope you continue; stay strong.Mr Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17130984066514068754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989514418637976045.post-16161904835868234372008-07-24T11:14:00.000-05:002008-07-24T11:14:00.000-05:00yeah she got robbed on that one for sure. Diana only got it because her face is in those annoying AT&amp;T commercials as kind of the face of USA Olympic Taekwondo, they have too much invested in her to let her lose even if it is to a more skilled fighter.mr, scullynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989514418637976045.post-36509184855604751412008-07-07T13:13:00.000-05:002008-07-07T13:13:00.000-05:00wow, that is crazy.

This was obviously a set up. Diana Lopez is a weak fighter and does not deserve to be going to the Olympics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
