Great Britain better get it together if they want to make it to the women's hockey finals.
Anyone watching the game closely? How is the GB team doing overall?

I've just turned over to watch it. Commentators suggest that despite being 1 down, we are controlling the game.
 
Oh no, who false-started? :(

Edit: Aw, that sucks. That's a shitty way to go out (if you false-start now, you get kicked out automatically if it was your fault.)

I don't get Taekwondo, seems like they keep kicking each other and points are sometimes awarded. How do they score points?
 
In Blake's defense, the people Bolt was running against were way slower than Spearmon and the French guy. Of course he should have expected it, but his run would have looked just as easy in the second semi.

Bolt is of course going to destroy him in the final, but still.

They need to kick each other on the chest armor thingy or the head.
The chest kick has to be strong and has an impact to be a point. A chest hit is 1 point. A chest hit from a spin move is 2 points. And finally a head kick is worth 3 points.
Also, 2 penalties and your opponent gets a point.
 
Lemaitre has got no chance of Bronze. He's fast for a white European, but the Jamaicans will get a definite 1-2 and the Americans and Weir will battle it out for bronze.

the london 2012 site also lists a 4 point kick. what's that? a spin kick to the head?
