I've been watching the pathetic, laughable spectacle of Olympic TKD on tv and as a WTF TKD practitioner I'm embarrassed and infuriated. To paraphrase a respected forum member; "This is NOT the crap I practice!"
Those guys look like pathetic little Irish dancers from "Riverdance" with their arms held stiffly down at their sides and their flicky little kicks with no power. Not even a decent "ki-hap"! Even the men sound like a bunch of squealing little girls at a sleep-over! Now, I have to go around explaining and justifying to people, "No, that's not really what my martial art is like..."
ARGHHHHH!!!!! It makes me want to take an airplane to the Olympic village and just walk up to each and every one of those pansies and axe kick them into a coma!
