At least a silver for Gemma Gibbons! Been following her today and she's just beaten the world champion to reach the gold medal match.

[KnightOwl]

Hard lines - she failed to overcome USA's Kayla Harrison - but silver is still a very good result for Gemma :silver: :clap:

Jade Jones has won her quarter final convincingly, 13-3. One more win and she's guaranteed silver.

[davech]

Jade is in to the final! She beat her Taiwanese oponent 10-6.

[VamosVixs]

Jade is guaranteed at least a silver!! :swingin:

[davech]

Martin Stamper has lost his semi-final against Turk Tazegul 9-6. Gold and silver are gone, but he still has a chance to fight for the bronze.

[KnightOwl]

Wonderful from Jade Jones. I know nothing about Taekwondo, but we now have a :gold: medallist at it!

Loving watching her do a lap of honour round the arena with a Union Flag in one hand & a Welsh Flag in the other :)

[davech]

Brilliant from Jade, and not at all expected at the start of the event. Really chuffed for her.

[VamosVixs]

Well done Jade! :gold:

[supergran]

Another wonderful day and more Gold Medals!! Well done Charlotte, Nicola and Jade today. And now in studio with Gabby is Jess plus Mac and Daley Thompson...my cup runneth over.

[traveller7]

Great gold from Jade I too knew nothing of this sport but she had strong win.

TAEKWONDO (09:00-22:45): Sarah Stevenson, women's -67kg; Lutalo Muhammad, men's -80kg

World champion Sarah Stevenson was one of the stories of the Games four years ago when she won bronze after a scoring error was overturned. In the last 18 months she has lost both her parents to terminal illness, won the world title and overcome a serious knee injury.

Lutalo Muhammad will want to prove his controversial selection ahead of world number one Aaron Cook was merited, after a protracted wrangle with the governing body. If successful, Stevenson and Muhammad will take part in preliminary (09:00), quarter-final (15:00), semi-final (17:00) and final (22:15) rounds.

Lutalo Muhammed is out of the Taekwondo. The controversy continues.

[davech]

Well, it's not actually all over for Lutalo - he went into the repechage and won the next round, so he still has a chance to win bronze.

[hfwardhouse]

Well, it's not actually all over for Lutalo - he went into the repechage and won the next round, so he still has a chance to win bronze.

And win it he does :cheer: :bronze:

[davech]

:yahoo:

[Alis]

Pleased for him after his contentious selection.
