Taekwondo OTU Oceanian Olympic Qualifier 2024


Recommended Posts

Favourites for tomorrow 

 

Women's

 

 49 :AUS

 57 :AUS

 67 :TGA

+67:FIJ

 

The heavy weight will be interesting as :KIR 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 :TGA:NZL are in same half if she reaches finals, quota goes to 2nd highest ranked athlete at the competition which would probably be :FIJ Naitasi Lolohea, the 16 year old in the other half.

 

 

 

Men

 

58  :AUS

68  :NZL

80  :AUS

+80:SOL

 

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

 

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

    • theocracy = institutionalised murder and khomeini was a brainless butcher; no comparison can ever be made to the former Shah, despite all his flaws. Dictators are not alike, as graveyards around the world can testify...
    • men crash out in the qualifying run of the Men's Team Pursuit after completing just over a Km. Doesn't look like anyone was too badly injured and the team were given a rerun. They clocked a 3:54.365 which will see them qualify for the next round in 6th place.    Not sure what went wrong for the  team - they finished last, with a 4:16.655 which was over 7 seconds slower than  and almost 24 seconds slower than top qualifier     also had a bit of a mare - they were leading through 2km before fading in the second half. 3:56.155 left them in 9th place and they wont progress. 
    • She made 54-something in the 100 FR mixed relay. Would've also won the gold in the individual 100m contested earlier in the session had she entered it.
    • 3 golds for Hein in the first day with records.....our best young  sportwoman by far.....
    • Turkey doesn't have democracy right now either- the mayor of Istanbul is imprisoned for Erdogana (exactly like Erdogan once did in the same position). How will this end? Will the government change, just as Erdogan once did when he came to power by winning the 2002 elections? Erdogan probably no longer has real support in the country, but will he relinquish power? Turkey has always been a country that other Arab countries later emulated.
    • Iran's economy before the revolution was OK but not good.   M.R. Pahlavi wasn't the worst dictator in the world but still a dictator and in my book there is no good dictator, they are all bad. and yeah that 1953 coup or what we call 28th Mordad Coup played big role in the current mess. (ironically those responsible for that coup now consider themselves defending democracy) 50 years before that Iran had a revolution called "Constitutional Revolution" to limit the king's (Shah) power massively and creating the parliament, that coup was essentially the end of that era, completely destroying the parliament and giving 100% power to the king.    if you rule a big country like Iran for something like 40 years, you start to believe you are the God himself, that was the problem with A. Khameneyi too.   btw at the time of revolution nobody knew he was dealing with cancer, that was revealed later.
    • Presumably if a bid is accepted for snow / ice sports, the other 'half' would be reopen for bid
    • So basically a Granada / Štrbské Pleso 2015 situation, or just straight up one without including other (snow or ice)?   I haven't seen the memo myself.
    • FISU has sent a note to member federations saying for the 2029 Winter Universiade, bids can be just for the snow events or Ice events, if interested parties decide to go that route.
    • The "Andinian Plan" is a very old conspiracy theory in this land, nothing new under the sun.
