Team GB's Jade Jones wins the women's taekwondo -57kg gold medal by defeating China's Hou Yuzhuo at the ExCeL - South Arena 1 as part of the London 2012 Olympic Games (9 August).
Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art, which means "the way of kicking and punching". In taekwondo, hands and feet can be used to overcome an opponent, but the trademark of the sport is its combination of kick movements. Taekwondo is one of the two Asian martial arts included on the Olympic programme. Taekwondo made its debut as a demonstration Olympic sport at the 1988 Seoul Games, and became an official medal sport at the 2000 Sydney Games.

I'm a bit annoyed at the commentator for saying that she's from Manchester because she only competes as part of the Academy there; she is actually Welsh!

[@diehard2033]

Great Britain is England Scotland Island and Wales it dosent matter

[@AH-hz5xc]

Nobody knows welsh

[@justcallmefflower6677]

She still goes with her dad collecting scrap around Flint - she knocks on peoples doors and flings whatevers there into the van ahah

[@justcallmefflower6677]

@Lord of Pizza (Formally known as Jeff Sokol) naaa, a close friend of mine lives in Flint :)

She is really talented and I love her confidence. I'm the happiest person to say my Dad's friend is Jades cousin and that I have Jades autograph ❤

[@mizofan]

Jade's still going strong, Euro champ again - all the best for the Olympics

[@masterk2197]

Good how Jones didn’t give up in the final minutes of the match, even though she was only ahead by 2 points. And it’s how Jones kept on going so she could go to the final

[@andrewwheeldon3957]

Great moment for British TaeKwonDo, what an event !!!! It will be burned into my memory forever. Well done Jade and well done to all our competitors, it's a great achievement to even get on the olympic team. If only i was 20 years younger i'd have been there !! Probly

[@Beadle87]

The London olympics were awesome,this was 1 of my fave moments...

[@ginarobyn9407]

So proud of her- words don't explain it

[@AndyRaslan]

02:33 - start of the fight. You're welcome.

[@naomiruiz1300]

Great job Jade you are truly an inspiration. I hope to medal at the Olympics just like you! I am currently a first degree and I compete in tournaments around the country including AAU nationals and U.S. Open

[@bobmiller7502]

5 years on hows you doing now sister, just wondering,,x

[@whatevs236]

She comes from where I live, her high school is about 3 minutes walk from mine. Our area is very proud of her and her accomplishments! So proud!

[@MrSleathy]

I was there for her 1/4 final and semi-final in the afternoon .... treasured memories ...

[@harKazoid86ShredderC-37]

I remember watching this live!

[@Embryonicboy]

this was my favourite moment of the Olympics!

[@raj9868]

I am a ten year old kid and I am inspired by your amazing kicks

[@flora6233]

I do taekwondo and Damn jade Jones is amazing

[@XoxBloodRainxoX]

Was there! Literally one of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed.

[@dannybro147]

Jade Jones also competed in the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore.

[@sehamalmahmoud3922]

What a legend!

[@MarioUcomics]

The hype from the crowd is what really makes this fun to watch

[@hariskhan2927]

Woo Ho Jade jones yes she won gold for our country cant wait till im there 1 day just so excited also competing next week at belgium open

[@TheIkaraCult]

Jade got me into Taekwondo, its such a great discipline, graceful with the fact everyone who does it could kick your head off..

[@peterdrocken8148]

Her coach has a training video on KZbin it's awesome training for taekwondo knockouts! Jade is amazing

[@richardprescott8628]

A wonderful display of martial arts....I remember watching this.Jade is a beautiful young lady and a very good martial artist .

[@thartiustheslayerofthots7088]

I remember I watched this live and in the arena and it was insane

[@universe1934]

This is the -57 final! The video title is wrong

[@asijasahic4180]

What is the song on the beginning?

[@lou-xr5rz]

My hero since I was 10 years old 💛

[@tonyy5482]

Title is wrong as the video shows: Jade Jones won the Olympic Gold medal in the -57kg category in 2012 (& 2016), not -67kg. Well done Jade ;)

[@Z00oo00VirUs]

It looks an interesting sport for sure however i have no clue how each competitor earns points

[@thartiustheslayerofthots7088]

You score points by striking the body or head, you can only punch down and yeah that’s pretty much it

[@esmaljaic4238]

You are the best jade good luck

[@matthewprice2626]

From England? Raaar. I support every GB athlete but at leadt when an athletes from Wales axkniwledge it.

[@jennylee9499]

Wait, Jade jones is -57 Not -67 4:57

[@temple_123]

The speed is insane

[@Olympics]

You can see the next generation of Team GB right here 🙂👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5LFlGqHea51Zrc

[@cardinalcopia501]

Jade jones is the best women in taekwondo.

[@lowelanano9511]

i miss this game

[@howarthe1]

What was the warning for?

[@saladshla]

My favourite moment :)

[@TheWazaaaaap]

That 'English woman' is actually Welsh, the Welsh flag she paraded with gave that away, points to you on observation. If you failed to notice her nationality then you'd understand that I won't trust your scoring observation.

[@PTSenators9643]

Hou Yuzhuo - from Hebei just like Chinese Actress Zhou Dongyu. An Korean actor Lee Joon-gi also was in a film with actress Zhou Dongyu. But for Korea - I like Dae Hoon Lee in taekwondo.

[@Grim121Reaper]

Why would you skip the intro?

[@harrypetheram3677]

Amazing

[@haffunn4885]

if you ask me, at 7:15 jade just kicks Hou's knee once again... happens to me so often too, no reason for a penalty point there ...

[@thartiustheslayerofthots7088]

If it was a direct strike to the knee as in her foot was down it would be but where she was blocking it isn’t a foul

[@mariaanello2760]

Perfect Jade!!! *_*

[@scrxtch9593]

Start song?

[@jm-fj5un]

mistake, it's under 57 not -67kg

[@bobmiller7502]

Huo was injured with that ankle problem u can see her struggling, still a nice win 4 Jade,xx

[@angelasmithson5291]

Well done Jade!! 🙂

[@jonathandown5709]

"You little beauty!"

[@captguitarj]

Why did they disable likes and dislikes

[@DimDanSum]

The clock kept running an extra like 2 seconds each time the ref said to stop.

[@mukulaka6358]

yay

[@Mrfairchap]

Well, the actual contest was one of the dullest I witnessed at the Games, but a Gold is a Gold; well done Jade.

[@lukewjskywalker6312]

my instructor taught her when she started

[@lou-xr5rz]

really?! omg omg omg you lucky thing

[@lukewjskywalker6312]

+Violet M i met her when she won gold cause she came back and she took photos and signed stuff

[@somagoswami3083]

[@sanchekhan6406]

Jade jones a British legend so underrated

[@howarthe1]

kick to the trunk = 1 point; spinning kick to the trunk = 2 points; kick to the head = 3 points; spinning kick to the head = 4 points

[@laurapizz9076]

I'M ITALIAN I SPEAK NOW ITALIAN ED è BELLISSIMO

[@KevinCrisps]

Anyone notice the referee clenching her fists in joy when Jones won?

[@caitilou7770]

I was in flint when she won gold!

[@AnandKumar-gw8gs]

13:03..... Jade Jones he is a gold medalist

[@so56.dfjkhds]

what a beast

[@jowan7389]

Why don't the keep a guard up? I mean I've heard about kicks being favoured to get points but what about blocking?

[@CraigHarrisMusic]

+Raptor King Waste of energy, it's simpler to guard than to move your hand to block an attack

[@jowan7389]

+Craig Harris Yeah, but they don't even get a guard up lol. waste of energy? ha not reallyvif it could save ur ass.

[@gavindavies8153]

i have got jade Jones autograph at ysgol john brights 2day

[@BaigernTheDrummer]

1st warning was for out of bounds, 2nd was for blocking kicks with your leg.

[@charlottebanks2112]

[@user-ck8iu6qb7o]

[@Ailledibarra]

[@damvan2491]

[@TheMrrobustus]

Still, gotta give it to Yuzhuo. Didn't give up despite havin her ass kicked the first couple of rounds.

[@Blueboy7999]

[@MrCoolsterdude65]

They don't even seem to be hurting each other they just fall.

[@thiab1239]

[@panzoidanimations7415]

My best Friend i jade jones sister

[@ZanOGAL]

[@Maxshard]

Great that she won but I have no idea how the scoring works, or what on earth the rules of engagement are.

[@BaigernTheDrummer]

What is this magic spray?

[@nikolapetrovic4415]

[@riptorju4778]

She's just giving those Warnings like Candy...

[@darkstarnh]

[@rafieelias9990]

[@raj9868]

[@BaigernTheDrummer]

A kick to the body is one point. A kick to the head is three points.

[@lexidarby6663]

I got my black belt in tae kwon do and I am 11 jade jones is my inspiration!!

[@justclosing]

[@lexidarby6663]

Black is the opposite of white signifying proficiency and maturity . Also indicates the waters imperviousness to darkness and fear. I will post a video on my channel ( lexi lover) so check that out

[@justclosing]
