It's often oddly in the nature of these things that the second seed has a better OVERALL draw than the top seed, until you get the semis, albeit the top seed gets the pest pickings of their half - equally the fourth seed often has a pig of a draw - given some artificial french 4th seeds, that quarter is likely to be 'unpredictable'

I was just looking at the previous encounters of Dell'Aquila vs the other qualified athletes

 

"dangerous" for him just means Jendoubi and Park (and Ravet, as he's the hometown boy), he hasn't lost against any other competitor among the qualified ones in a major event since 2019, so those 2/3 were the men he's better not to face before the GMM

 

meanwhile Simone Alessio has a much tougher draw, having to face already in the quarters the always dangerous man from Iran (or the Uzbek man) and in the semis his bete noir Seo

even the 1st round vs  or isn't a walk in the park

I have it from direct good sources that World Taekwondo in its infinite wisdom has published rankings named "June 2024 Used for Paris 2024 Seeding" which will in fact NOT be used for the seeding because they contain some miscomputations in the automated system used to refresh rankings. You can spot the incosistencies by clicking on a given athlete page and search from the dropdown menu the month of June 2024, you will notice some of the rankings differ from those published under "June 2024 Used for Paris 2024 Seeding". And between the two the correct ones are the ones shown in the athlete pages.
I have recomputed the seeds for the categories with Italians and I am 95% confident they will be used for the actual draw.

This is actually better for Dell'Aquila which will avoid facing a first match with a fighter that already had their first fight, which in most people's opinion is a bit of a disadvantage.

13 Kafadar 

14 Matonti  

15 Grippoli 

16 Da Silva 

17 El-Bouchti 

Here Souza and Guo exchange positions (quite relevant for the bracket) and El-Bouchti is confirmed to be #17 unless WT pulls something funny at the last moment. The big loser is Panipak which will fight her first round against a top 6 opponent who will also have the benefit to have a previous fight with a sparring partner from Timor-Leste to warm up.

I can see the mistake now, their software automatically deduced some points from everybody (25% of points they hot in June of previous years) and that shouldn't happen because they froze the ranking on 1 June.

 

to have the real ranking for the Olympic seeding you just have to change the month from blank to June. which gives the same result as checking every single athletes points, but just faster and easier

Palestine won a match

[Federer91 3,020]

Oh man, Alizadeh is going to face her Iranian countryman Kiani in the first round tomorrow. This is going to be fun

TV Graphics are terrible. in case of tie scores (which happens a lot) you can't see who is winning the round 

 

in usual TKD competitions you can see the scoreboard on the background and anybody with a yellow number (and not white) is winning the round. here you can't even see the scoreboard.

I have to count the kick's target by hand? I'll have my white papers for the Italians...

 

Btw, today my taekwondo (former) club will for the first time compete at Olympic Games (past, we had some European Champion and Junior medallists). Go Bentis, go!
