Two great fights.
Watched the first couple of women's fights and they were awful.
Adams and Taylor and their opponents were brilliant though. Hats off.

Should bring the 'coach must bow before approaching referee' rule to football.

I would pay good money to see Fergie bowing before Stuart Atwell.

Is it me or is Taekwondo >>>>>>>>> Judo?
Any sport where you can go Chuck Norris and deliver a roundhouse kick to the head - and be rewarded heavily - is alright with me.
Judo was dullest thing I've watched in Olympics.
Today found myself watching rhythmic gymnastics. Took me all of ten seconds to start going all Craig Revell-Horwood: "Lazy in the lines, darrrrling!" Sadly that was about the British girl. The catching was marvellous but why can't they finish a line properly every time? Tut and indeed tut.

"Like Anita Lonsbrough in the pool, 1960. In the 200m breaststroke now, 48 years on, she's not long turned back for the last length as the winner finishes now - around 30 seconds."
"The IOC didn't sanction women racing beyond 200m until 1960 because they apparently came back after the 800m in 1928 so "distressed"."
Interesting quotes from another forum!

Judo didn't appeal to me either. It seemed strange to be able to pull off that Ippon move (was it Ippon?) and that's it with no chance to come back. Until then they're just grappling. There's no doubt skill to it all but not a lot happens.

Nicola Adams and Jade Jones with great performances. Would rather watch Adams fight than some of the jokers in the professional men's heavyweight division.
Not a massive fan of taekwondo. The rules means that the fighters have no guard (as they aren't worried about getting smacked in the head by a fist), and it often goes kick, kick, kick, hug. Competition karate isn't much better though, as it's often a case of who can get their reverse-punch in first. Still, would rather watch either than horse dancing.

Adams' smile is going to be on all the newspaper front-pages tomorrow.
Fantastic.

51 medals, 7 more guaranteed to come of whatever colour (4 boxing, 2 sailing, 1 taekwondo)
If Mo Farah and one more (BMX/hockey/Tom Daley/Sarah Stevenson etc) can deliver, we hit 60 which would be an incredible achievement
