Sarah Stephenson and Lutalo Muhammad both out early doors.

Mitigation in Sarah's case because of the tragedies she suffered last year. But there was a bit of a stir when Muhammad was selected instead of Aaron Cook.

Would Cook have done any better than Muhammad? I think perhaps he would, being the world number one and having previously beaten everyone in this tournament.

Yes Cook would have done better. Quite dodgy story there from what I read.

We're off to the Excel tomorrow for the TKD. Should be good fun.

It was the only event I considered going to, but I didn't bother in the end.

Except archery, but that was only because I work a few minutes' walk from Lords.

I think the mitigation in Stephenson case was she was has cruciate ligament surgery a few months ago, as for why the World Number 1 wasn't picked

The story goes that he withdrew from the official British Taekwondo training program to follow his own routine. Ahfter that he bacame no. 1 proving he was right. However he wasn't forgiven for breaking ranks.

Or he bonked the Taekwondo's boss's daughter.

Hang on, Muhammad has got himself into the repechage for the bronze medal because his conqueror has reached the final.

So all is not lost yet.
