Out of curiosity did anyone watch any of the Tai Quan Do at the Olys? The judging of that sport made me happy figure skating is my thing. At least the commentator and athletes/coaches can normally explain the scoring. The Tai Quan Do expererts were as confused as the people watching. Makes me really appreciate the CoP.

I think I read something about one of the competitors kicking a referee in the face, and being suspended (coach included) from the sport forever.

I understand being angry, but one of the things martial arts teaches (or is at least supposed to from having participated in one for 3 years before injury) is self control. Obviously that guy missed that lesson.
