Team GB’s Jade Jones wins the women’s taekwondo -57kg gold medal by defeating China’s Hou Yuzhuo at the ExCeL – South Arena 1 as part of the London 2012 Olympic Games (9 August).
Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art, which means “the way of kicking and punching”. In taekwondo, hands and feet can be used to overcome an opponent, but the trademark of the sport is its combination of kick movements. Taekwondo is one of the two Asian martial arts included on the Olympic programme. Taekwondo made its debut as a demonstration Olympic sport at the 1988 Seoul Games, and became an official medal sport at the 2000 Sydney Games.

The speed is insane
Not to be rude but do they do more then just try and kick each other in the face? Cus this seems boring
Winning by such technical rule is strange.

Jade's still going strong, Euro champ again – all the best for the Olympics
Good how Jones didn’t give up in the final minutes of the match, even though she was only ahead by 2 points. And it’s how Jones kept on going so she could go to the final
who is here in 2021 xD
5:19 asi se pudo estar en Japón, pero el virus nos arruinó la fiesta
The chinese girl tried kick to the head so many times she even tried spinning kick.
Mi hija es cinturón rojo y pelea mejor que esa China hasta diría que le daría una paliza a jade..No entiendo como puede estar en unos juegos Olímpicos con tan poco nivel
12:56 even though the referee stopped the match, the time wasnt stopped.. oops 🤷 maybe because jade had 2 points difference with her opponent..?
sadly she lost today 😥
🏴 🇬🇧
The hype from the crowd is what really makes this fun to watch
Huo was injured with that ankle problem u can see her struggling, still a nice win 4 Jade,xx
Hou Yuzhuo – from Hebei just like Chinese Actress Zhou Dongyu. An Korean actor Lee Joon-gi also was in a film with actress Zhou Dongyu. But for Korea – I like Dae Hoon Lee in taekwondo.
Kind of like watching paint dry… and that was gold?
