Wish taekwondo had more than just 8 events at the Olympics. Should be at least 10.

To be fair with other combat sports, all 8 categories should be in. Or at least ask them to reduce them to 6

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.

What do you mean? All 8 categories for men and women in taekwondo? All 16 would be too much, especially if karate has a chance to stay after Tokyo. :d

Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

Well, I know, but Judo has all 7 and with a lot more competitors per category.

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. :d
