I do not know much about TaeKwonDo but it looks like this sister was robbed at the Olympic trials this year.

Nia Nicole Abdallah is the 2004 Olympics silver medalist in Athens, Greece.

She placed second in the featherweight division to Diana Lopez. But according to many persons present and who watched the video, she was the real winner, but the fix was in from the beginning. The objective of the powers that be was to have the three Lopez siblings represent the USA - the first time in over 114 years that three siblings have been on the same Olympic team.

The video of the match has repeatedly been removed on Youtube, but you can see is at www.myspace.com/wesupportnia.
I would really appreciate someone familiar with how scoring occurs in the sport to give their opinion. To me, as I said above, it looks like she was robbed.

The video is no longer at that link either.

But here is the scoring system for [Olympic-class] Tae Kwon-Do:
Punch To Body: 1 Point
Flying Punch To Body: 2 Points
Kick To Body: 2 Points
Kick To Head: 2 Points
Flying Kick To Body: 2 Points
Flying Kick To Head: 3 Points
Low Blow: The first time a warning is made. The second time 1 point is deducted. The third time is disqualification.
Purposely Injuring Opponent: There is the same consequences as a low blow.
