What a birthday she must have had If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

dcro 10,192 Posted May 5, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted May 5, 2016 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. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,524 Posted May 5, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 5, 2016 IMO wildcards in sports outside athletics and swimming should be given to the best eligible countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearas 388 Posted May 7, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 7, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taekwondo on the other hand is a sport a lot of these countries can be competetive in (Afgahnistan, Gabon, Mali etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
