pff What luck? our weak girl didn't throw a single kick before the last 30 sec, it seems no one told her this was a match for a quota.

 

Taekwondo just one more to the list of our pathetic sports, which are almost all of them.

Too bad for Honduras, this was probably their best shot at qualifying an individual without invitations (maybe they can in athletics).

 

There would have been a Honduras-Virgin Islands semifinal if only one of the Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico decided not to compete in women's +67. That is slightly pitty.

Still better than Papua New Guinea getting a free quota in the Oceania qualifier. This is what happens when there is a 2 athletes per gender limit in a four per gender event.

A huge team full of losers that will end mostly in last or close to last place.

That free quota probably wouldn't have happened if Samoa had been there. Samoa missed the whole tournament for whatever reason.
