Taekwondo Women's 67kg & Men's 80kg - London 2012 Olympics - Results

The Women's 67kg & Men's 80kg weightclass gold medal matches were contested today at the London 2012 Olympics.  The women's gold medal final was a bit of a blow out, but the men's match was very close and had a total Mr. Miyagi moment at the end.

Here are your medal results:

Women's 67kg:

This match was all Kyung Seon Hwang of North Korea's.  She easily defeated Nur Tatar of Turkey to take the gold medal.

American Paige McPherson won her repechage bout to win bronze, as did Helena Fromm of Germany.

Results:

Gold: Kyung Seon Hwang - North Korea

Silver: Nur Tatar - Turkey

Bronze: Paige McPherson - United States & Helena Fromm - Germany

Congratulations to all the medal winners!

Men's 80kg:

The gold medal bout for the men was a real nail biter.  Only one point was scored in the entire match.  The man who scored that point, Sebastian Eduardo Crismanich of Argentina, looked like he might not even finish the bout, after suffering a knee injury late in the match.  His trainer totally Miyagi'd him up though and he was able to finish the match and claim the gold medal.  An exciting finish!

Results:

Gold: Sebastian Eduardo Crismanich - Argentina

Silver: Nicolas Garcia Hemme - Spain

Bronze: Lutalo Muhammad - Great Britain & Mauro Sarmiento - Italy

Congratulations to all the medal winners!
