Jade Jones (GBR) Wins Taekwondo -67kg Gold v Hou Yuzhuo (CHN) - London 2012 Olympics

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.

[@bronwenjour]

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 :)

[@iwancymrobulgarin]

[@potsiewall4250]

Probably my favourite gold winning celebration ever. Jade Jones, we salute you!

[@bubakralj1790]

Potsie Wall da

[@potsiewebber4266]

One of the greatest moments in Olympic history, seeing her celebrate upon winning gold. A true inspiration to all.

[@ukpropaganda]

She's really fit. Now double gold medalist. What a star.

[@lou-xr5rz]

YES JADE! TWO GOLDS IN THE OLYMPICS! YOU'RE AMAZING!!

[@sunrisepetal6454]

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 ❤

[@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

[@mizofan]

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

[@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

[@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

[@ginarobyn9407]

So proud of her- words don't explain it

[@matthewprice2626]

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

[@AndyRaslan]

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

[@flora6233]

I do taekwondo and Damn jade Jones is amazing

[@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.

[@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!

[@Beadle87]

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

[@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

[@raj9868]

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

[@sehamalmahmoud3922]

What a legend!

[@MrSleathy]

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

[@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 ;)

[@TheIkaraCult]

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

[@MarioUcomics]

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

[@temple_123]

The speed is insane

[@Olympics]

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

[@jennylee9499]

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

[@cardinalcopia501]

Jade jones is the best women in taekwondo.

[@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

[@TinaMichelle70]

Look how young she is.. Beautiful, the image of both parents...Still proud

[@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

[@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.

[@dannybro147]

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

[@Embryonicboy]

this was my favourite moment of the Olympics!

[@chicken-rain]

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

[@harKazoid86ShredderC-37]

I remember watching this live!

[@richardprescott8628]

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

[@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

[@universe1934]

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

[@sanchekhan6406]

Jade jones a British legend so underrated

[@AnandKumar-gw8gs]

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

[@thartiustheslayerofthots7088]

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

[@peterdrocken8148]

[@KevinCrisps]

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

[@abhisekhranatkd1099]

[@saladshla]

My favourite moment :)

[@garrettfresh5893]

Not to be rude but do they do more then just try and kick each other in the face? Cus this seems boring

[@laurapizz9076]

I'M ITALIAN I SPEAK NOW ITALIAN ED è BELLISSIMO

[@jonathandown5709]

"You little beauty!"

[@neven12345]

She started with ITF taekwondo, and switched to WT taekwondo.

[@MrCoolsterdude65]

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

[@lexidarby6663]

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

[@justclosing]

Prove it

[@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]

How do we know it's you?

[@mr.orangeaide5260]

thats the sign of a mcdojo. try bjj or mauy thai instead

[@SamuelH105]

When the commentator reads Hou Yuzhuo as Hu Yuzao 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jm-fj5un]

mistake, it's under 57 not -67kg

[@BaigernTheDrummer]

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

[@TheMrrobustus]

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

[@lowelanano9511]

i miss this game

[@ТамирланБияхметов]

[@goodyoutube2536]

The best players Jade Johnson England Wu jingyu China tajegul Turkey Lee D.H Korea Steven Lopez USA The legendary players

[@yousraabedli3108]

[@BaigernTheDrummer]

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

[@dbsdkdld]

she's pretty!! :)

[@user-ml7jx5ed6o]

who is here in 2021 xD

[@nikolapetrovic4415]

-57kg*

[@MICHAELZHANGCA]

I didn't know Sting can coach Taekwondo. 12:01

[@so56.dfjkhds]

what a beast

[@justclosing]

The only thing I know is that Jade Jones is quite pretty. Regarding the rest, I haven't got a clue

[@northamerican6009]

agreed

[@j.j.c.s2802]

So what qualifies as 'quite pretty'? How can we be sure? What's your evidence? What's needed to put her in the 'pretty' league? Does this mean that Hou Yuzho is not pretty? Is 'pretty' important to you? What happens if Jade was not in your 'pretty' category? Do you regret writing such a shallow comment now? So many questions, so little time ...

[@northamerican6009]

ERROR: ARGUMENT INVALID

[@northamerican6009]

pretty eyes and cute buck teeth

[@j.j.c.s2802]

That's right! Because it requires some thought!

[@lewwillz0375]

[@DimDanSum]

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

[@angelasmithson5291]

Well done Jade!! 🙂

[@ZanOGAL]

Why did China keep getting a warning ??what was she doing??

[@archiem2629]

Okay guys I take it back

[@Maxshard]

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

[@Grim121Reaper]

Why would you skip the intro?

[@captguitarj]

Why did they disable likes and dislikes

[@lilyhsb1]

[@riptorju4778]
