Women’s 67kg isn’t correct, that match hasn’t started yet.  

But New Zealand is not eligible for quota as mentioned by Oceania Taekwondo Union. So they only get medals.

I think that they will try to fight their own NZOC to be nominated.  Still until the quota is oficially rejected, it’s theirs.

These were the closest matches of the day. If at all someone wants to re-watch them.

We may have missed Tonga but I think the qualifier was great overall. Record participation, many close fights, upsets. I think this Oceania qualifier should stay for long. I think in combat sports this is the best chance to qualify multiple athletes if the ecosystem is strong in Oceania.

 

 

While wrestling also has direct qualifiers, due to Africa it's a little harder. Boxing needs a limit on Australia say max 8.

Through the tripartite quota, but I would prefer if other people get it.

 

He's also eligible to get a taekwondo tripartite quota.
