Moments of the Taekwondo players

A slamming kick  executed by Olympic champion Chen Chih Hsin( More about her in the archive)

Was just thinking of how players feel when they score a point got a head kick and winning a competition which they take so much pride in it. I believe in many final matches, players tend to get a little nervous because they will be very cautious not to lose any points especially in major games like the Olympics. But once confident against their opponents, they will start to calm down and perform their potential. When a point is scored against the opponent, expression of satisfaction is shown. Sometimes things can be quite emotional as well as seen from some players.
