[MHSN 3,777]

+80kg quotas for Niger (former world champion Issoufou) and the Gambia (Obame lost 0-0 in the 3rd round)

First Quota

[MHSN 3,777]

and at the end Egypt and Nigeria grabbed the last two quotas at women's 67kg. both very very one-sided matches

 

 

if we consider the top seeds. only two seed 1 athletes failed to qualify and both are from Morocco. Laaraj (W57) and Bassel (M+80)

 

Tunisia is the only African country with 2+2 quotas. perfect tournament for them 

[MHSN 3,777]

it's really stupid to have a 3rd place match! just because someone may withdraw later!  nobody ever rejected a continental quota in Taekwondo and doping disqualification is also rare in this sport. these 3rd place matches are absolutely useless.

 

last night GEQ girl even celebrated her 3rd place match win with the flag and more. I don't know what she was told but she looked like someone who doesn't know there are only 2 quotas available
