Taekwondo WTO Oceanian Olympic Games Qualifier 2020


Recommended Posts

I can imagine :AUS Safwan Khalil is the only registered athlete for 58kg and most probably :TGA Malia Paseka for women's 67kg but I wonder who is that lucky girl for women's 49kg !? :TGA or :PNG ?

Yes :TGA Malia Paseka  was the only entry for 67kg and grabbed the free quota and of course :AUS Safwan Khalil won men's 58kg quota as expected

 

but apparently nobody registered for 49kg ! which is weird because there were 3 girls in the preliminary list, two from :TGA and :PNG and other TGA/PNG athletes in the list showed up  and finished the competition.

 

I was reading the official document, can't see anything there about a situation like this. but I assume normally the quota should go to the next best athlete in the World Ranking which was Yvette Yong from Canada.

This would be interesting, because Canada has entered someone else in the 49kg qualifier ... Would be a reprieve for Yong.

Oceanian taekwondo qualifiers must be one of the most pathetic things in the entire Olympic qualifying cycle...?

Well, most Oceania qualifiers are. A necessary evil.

To be fair, it's not an entirely free quota they get. Presumably they also need to pass the weigh in. :p

 

it seems so :d

The W-49kg saw no athlete qualify after an athlete disqualification due to being over the weight limit for that category and two athletes no shows.

    • Sooooo, after day 2 :     No change. To clarify, Thorup confirmed she was not going to the Games. But she still collected three quota for  that can be used by any other athlete. Still, Lindenskov has not achieved any minimum qualification time so she's not eligible.    Braun just had to finish the race. She could have started and bailed out like a couple of skaters did in the 500m. But she went all the way and got DQed  So only one Polish skater and Smedding is in (she would have received an additional quota anyways).   Horikawa was given the huge edge of starting in A division thanks to a couple of Dutch skips. Despite running 3s slower than Yang she still retrieved a comfortable amount of points to secure her spot. Yang benefited from the quartets but things could have gone to the wire if they ran in the same division.    Italy not starting. Failing to qualify while they only had to be top 12 (with 14 teams competing) is a huge blow.    Nope Nope Nope   It was tense. Before last pair Semirunniy Lorello and Snellink (in that order with the tie breaker rule) were tied with 110 points, ahead of Henriksen. Meaning that Semirunniy was in and Snellink in too but only in the SOQT ranking, thus depriving the Netherlands of their 9th man. But Eitrem, ranking 0.07 ahead of Semirunniy, and a few seconds later Dawson, 0.10 ahead of Lorello, reshuffled the rankings completely, saving both countryman Henriksen and Dutch matrix selectors.    So Semirunniy, as the world leader in the 10k (not the same event indeed) and 4th of one of the three WC qualifying races is not going to race in Milano. I guess the easy answer is to put that on him. But Sasaki, with 6'21, 13'30 and 6'21 is qualified, because he managed to be a tad faster in the first race of the season on the fastest track in the world. Semirunniy mismanaged his efforts in a flawed system that allows time quota in a World Cup circuit with huge track discrepancies, which works with unfair divisions rewarding way too much already established athletes. Like, look at those injured skaters not even going a hundred meters banking more points than 95% of B division, and yet still taking a spot next week. Erin Jackson could pull this till the end of the season and remain top 16.
