Stevenson lost the +67kg heavyweight clash after judges failed to award her high-kick to the head of China's Chen Zhong.
Beijing: British taekwondo fighter Sarah Stevenson was on Saturday declared the winner of a controversial Olympic Games quarter-final tie which had been originally awarded to her Chinese opponent.
Stevenson had lost the +67kg heavyweight clash after judges failed to award her high-kick to the head of Chen Zhong which would have given her two points when she was down 1-0 in the closing third round.
The 25-year-old Stevenson, the 2001 world champion, claimed she had been "robbed" by the officials and immediately filed a protest to the judges committee of the World Taekwondo Federation.
