Here's an interesting fact about wild card athletes in taekwondo. All four of them combined haven't achieved a single win in the respective continental qualification tournaments.

Taekwondo wildcard for Honduras seems confusing to me. There are way more countries that have smaller teams and has athletes who won even a single match in qualification period.

They don't take team sports into account when deciding if a country is eligible for tripartite spots. If they did Honduras wouldn't be eligible for them since they qualified in Football the last three Olympics.

IMO wildcards in sports outside athletics and swimming should be given to the best eligible countries.

 

IMO Taekwondo shouldn't give wild cards at all given it only has 16 people per category. Diving doesn't give any and they have more quota.

Diving is very specialized. You don't see athletes from.smaller countries competing. Taekwondo on the other hand is a sport a lot of these countries can be competetive in (Afgahnistan, Gabon, Mali etc)
