: National taekwondo exponent Nurul Hidayah Abdul Karim was inconsolable after suffering a heartbreaking loss when she was pipped to at least a bronze medal by a mere 0.03 points in the women’s poomsae individual event at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games today.In the quarter-finals held at the Lin’an Sports Centre, which is about 70 kilometres from here, Nurul Hidayah, 25, lost out to 2013 World Championships gold medallist Marjan Salahshouri of Iran by 0.
However, national coach Jin Jun Beom believes Nurul Hidayah should have marched into the semi-finals, thus ensuring her at least the bronze medal, claiming that the Iranian exponent had made mistakes in the first poomsae. Nurul Hidayah was in tears when met by reporters after the defeat as she knew that had she made the last four, she would have been assured of at least a bronze medal and equal the feat achieved by compatriot Sara Yap in the previous edition.
“Our protest was not accepted when we met the technical delegate and referee’s chairman, they said they cannot change the results... and that they can only suspend the referee. We are very sad but need to work harder to perform better next time so that no one can deny us victory,” said the coach from South Korea.
