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.
Thanks JC. Clears that up!!

If you come over the threshold at Vref at 50' or below on a 3 deg glide angel with the throttles at idle just like the AFM describes then most of the time you will not need TR. If you do use them then you should unlock them first, check you have both sides unlocked before selecting any power. Simple basic procedure and one which in this case might well have led to a normal landing or go around.
