All four of our athletes were 2nd or 3rd seeded, and none of them managed to even make the semifinals 

 

I know taekwondo often has surprises but still it's very disappointing that we will have no one in Tokyo. We have 5 athletes ranked in the top 20 in the Olympic rankings, so the fact that none of them were able to qualify is definitely a failure in my opinion.

 

I was definitely hoping we could qualify 1 or 2...

yes this taekwondo tournament is a real failure for the favorites. Will Russia and Belarus participate with these conditions?

You didn't mention  in women's -67 kg, who I think was probably our most likely to qualify

Qualifying in taekwondo is brutal, especially for Europe and Asia. You have people in non-Olympic weights moving around (more common in taekwondo) and the sport loves upsets so we are bound to see many great athletes staying home. Especially in a 16-person field.
