The report already stated the sequence of events. They selected reverse thrust which deployed when the WOW switches were triggered during a bounce. This meant that when they changed their mind to go around and pulled up + firewalled the throttles forward thrust was inhibited due to the reversers not (yet) being stowed. Thus smacking heavily into mother earth.
