Quasit 849 Posted August 20, 2016 #122 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Wish taekwondo had more than just 8 events at the Olympics. Should be at least 10. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair with other combat sports, all 8 categories should be in. Or at least ask them to reduce them to 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this! This sport gives so many opportunities for smaller nations and should be expanded. Adding 32 athletes in the grand scheme of things is not a lot.

I guess 6 could be seen as a good comprimise for combat sports, except for boxing where there should be more men's categories. 6+6+6 for wrestling 6+6 for judo 6+6 for taekwondo 6+6 for fencing, which means full teams too. Not sure about karate yet, it has to earn its place first. E: I would also like a mixed team event for judo, taekwondo and wrestling.
