[Fly_like_a_don 1,142]

Favourites for tomorrow 

 

Women's

 

 49 

 57 

 67 

+67

 

The heavy weight will be interesting as  also has a very good Taekwondo player who won silver at -73kg at Pacific Games. Should be an interesting face off for quota between 2 nations that never qualified a Taekwondo player.

 

In -67, Pauline Lolohea has been pretty good. She hasn't lost to anyone except Rebecca Murray who's not selected. She was very competitive in her 1st round loss at world champs too. So unless the New Zealand athlete is pretty good she might not be able to beat her. Even if she does, NZNOC might not take her in team as there's no noteworthy results at international level. Since  are in same half if she reaches finals, quota goes to 2nd highest ranked athlete at the competition which would probably be  Naitasi Lolohea, the 16 year old in the other half.

 

 

 

Men

 

58  

68  

80  

+80

 

In 68kg an  athlete now representing  is participating. He may win the quota only for it to be reallocated to maybe . 

 

+80 another very interesting category. I'm giving  the edge due to being at home as well as his Pacific games performance. Pita  can never be ruled out even though he remembers Taekwondo only at Oceania Qualifiers.  has an outside chance too.

Oddly, New Zealand doesn't have a nomination criteria for taekwondo. 

 

Historically, they have been selected. In general, New Zealand wants a top 16 finish with the potential of finishing in the top 8 which taekwondo fulfills

NZNOC considering TNZ, is it official. OTU still says there are not recognised, on Facebook page
