Jur 590 Posted April 13 #203 Share Posted April 13 Her host country in the Refugee program was Germany, not Bulgaria. I dont like those changes AFTER the qualification event. So Bulgaria could send 2 male 2 female to the qualifier and another athlete? Hmh...... intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I am a fan of world taekwondo for creating a interesting sport with clear rules and easy to follow for the viewer, I have to say that their qualification system is one of the worst. Personally I don’t think there should be a limit on the number of athletes who can qualify for a team. Imagine being the 6th ranked fighter in the world and not qualifying because there are 2 other athletes in different weight classes are higher ranked for you. And this one is a gripe which can be applied to other sports as well. The Individual neutral Athletes are baisically a team, no matter how hard people try to spin it in neutrality. They even have their own flag, so surely these limits on athletes participation should apply to them, but they don’t. And on a side note their website is appalling.

It's no different than if multiple suspended nations competed under the Olympic flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,493 Posted April 14 #208 Share Posted April 14 It seems Bianca Cook hasn't given up on getting to Paris and will be representing going forward. By making the switch, it seems she will be eligible to compete at the European Champs with an ultimate goal of being able to do enough to persuade the selectors to pick her over Rebecca McGowan.

Maybe she can represent in LA? She does have close connections to the country, being married to a very famous Moldovan Olympic athlete.
