Continued moments from the Youth Olympic Games Taekwondo

Russian Player youngest player at the YOG Taekwondo but had shown nice skills.

 Solid counter back thrust which was awarded two points for such technique.

The turning point backhook that gave the Korean player the gold medal.

Well overall, the Koreans have indeed played well. 3 gold medals out of four players. In fact the Koreans made the game interesting to watch. The guys match overall are kind of boring but not when the Koreans are playing. One can see how they move with their nimble footwork and sharpness of the kick that comes with feint or not. I like the footwork best the way they move and understand their players before performing the techniques. One more thing about watching an Olympic game and other games is with the way how the stage is made, it actually makes the game more interesting to watch. A central arena for the players. The environment seems really different.
