If I read the Qualification document correctly, :GBR could not enter anyone into the European Qualification Tournament, because they managed to get two Men (and two Women) through the Ranking process - I understand and get that.  AIN (aka Russia) only qualified 1 Man through the Ranking/Grand Slam (Larin), so could enter athletes into the Tournament, and as a result have successfully qualified another two Men (and two Women).   So they end up with 3 Men qualified????   :mumble:

:AIN comprises athletes from Russia and Belarus. I could be wrong, but I think that one of the athletes that qualified here - Georgii Gurtsiev - is from :BLR so it would still be within the 2 per NOC rules.

Thanks Rafa for this - you are correct.  I was a bit hasty in jumping to conclusions.

After yet another Olympic cycle, where we couldn't get an athlete quota in this sport, the reserve plan has been activated.

 

The first ever woman Olympic medalist for :IRI Kimia Alizadeh is going to get a Bulgarian passport in the coming days. The quota she earned at the European Qualifier as an EOR will be changed to a Bulgarian one and we will have our first ever "official" participation in taekwondo. :d :coffee:

OK. Something odd seems to be going on. Somebody sent me a message that World Taekwondo are showing Jade Jones as being "suspended" in the Olympic Rankings. No one knows anything about this. Is this a big story or a mistake from WT?

Kimia Alizadeh has received her bulgarian citizenship and passport and will represent :BUL at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

 

She will be the first sportsman in Olympic history in taekwondo for the country. :)
