So its all kicking off in the world of British Olympic TKD. British Taekwondo has chosen Lutalo Muhammad to fight in the -80 kg division at the Olympics even though Aaron Cook is the world number 1 and Muhammad is ranked 59.

As usual politics is involved and now Cook's team are pursuing legal action.

Pressure's now on for Muhammad to perform.

Bonus:
