OLYMPICS- Do you think Sarah Stevenson was robbed ??

Question

I could NOT believe that they didnt award her the two points for the foot-head contact in the taekwondo..what a joke, is anyone else stewing??

Answer 1

Yes she fairly one.

Answer 2

Nobody likes a sore loser, at least Jojon's whiny crybaby mom doesnt' LOL

Answer 3

Daniella you hot girl, I am with you its good the decision went our way. Although the mexican girl is kicking her about atm.

Answer 4

Yes she was robbed, first of all she should have got a point along with the other girl as she did a mirror image kick on her opponent straight after the Chinese girl scored her point, that didn't count for some reason. That kick to the face though, no matter where the judges are sat they should have ALL seen it, its quite hard to ignore when her head nearly came off her shoulders. That would have made it 2-1 to Stevenson, (should have been 3-1) and she would have won because it was in the last few seconds. I think when the judges huddled to confer they were like "We all know what we saw, but we are going to get a roasting if we reverse the decision and knock the Chinese opponent out of the tournament, lets pretend not all of us saw it" I'm gutted for her, her reaction at the end said it all!

Answer 5

Wow, that was lousy. My country's commentators also saw it as that she was robbed. With video replay the judges should have been able to make an accurate decision.

Answer 6

didnt see it but they reckon on the radio she was robbed

its like the eurovision song contest lol

we've lodged an official protest but apparently they dont make a difference.  and the judges have admitted that the Tv replay shows she shouldve won.  imagine training hard for years and then losing like that, she must be gutted

Answer 7

She was it is outrageous. They just reversed the decision. Sarah has been given the win.

Answer 8

She was robbed because It was obvious that she made point scoring contact. Atleast the decision was overturned, and justice was served in the end. I think it's great that she won a medal, especially after reading some of the negative comments above.

Go Sarah, Go GB!

Answer 9

No babe but her house will have been while she was in China.

Answer 10

I believe they should investigate it.  She was robbed. Love, honey

Answer 11

That's what a lot of people are saying but I didn't see it.

Answer 12

She clearly won and the judges favoured the Chinese girl (what a surprise).

GB should boycott Tae kwonDo in protest cos no matter what they do, they cant get a fair result against Koreans or Chinese

Ludicrous 'judging'.  You are very attractive btw.

Answer 13

It calls in to question how we can have an 'olympic' sport that is decided by judges in such a way. If this isnt resolved properly then I think they should withdraw such 'sports' from london 12.

Answer 14

Hooray!  You were right!  Decision reversed after protest by GB...so you are not a sore loser as some here say!!

Answer 15

Sore loser

Answer 16

Yes I believe she was, it should be investigated....

Answer 17

we was robbed for definate............poor girl, she must be heart broken

Answer 18

That was a clear head kick. A BLIND man could have seen it but of course you are NOT allowed to beat China in China.

I hope the same applies to the GB team in England in 2012.

Sarah was robbed as are/were many other athletes, due to questionable judging/scoring.

Come on the Brits.
