The Mens Taekwondo on Day 2 saw Team GB's hope Bradley Sinden push through the early battles to secure himself a place in the Semi Finals , after a tough bout against China's Zhao Shaui he got the upper hand and was set for Gold , Sinden's technique is quite unique compared to many and he uses a a complicated hoping and twisting method to his kicks which looks to confuse his opponenets .
So to the Gold match Sinden was upgainst a another top fighter that has gone through the Taekwondo ranks and competions as speedy as the legendary figures have been defeated.
Uzbekistan's Ulugbek Rashitov though shorter in stance and slightly smaller came for a fight and a fight was what he got , the match was a close one and the pair trading shots throughout , point for point it went either way , but in the final seconds when it looked like Sinden had claimed it Rashitov came back witha flurry to take Gold with a score of 34 to 29.
Definetly one of the exciting matches of the Taekwondo thus far.
