Chad Cross from Taekwondo Oh Do Kwan was unlucky to lose against Thomas Power from Tans Taekwondo Queensland in the final of Male welter weight, having won the junior division the day before Chad found himself again in the finals against Thomas, who had dispatched Chad ’s club mate Andrew McLagen and Lim Toh Huei from Malaysia in earlier rounds. At the end of three rounds the score was locked at eight all and went to sudden death, with both players kicking simultaneously and hitting, Thomas had the more clean impact which got him the judge’s point and a well deserved win.
