Start list of the Asian Qualifiers

with this, it will be disaster if Iran don't qualify both girls for Rio. their opponents are even below average in Asian standards. Khodabandeh needs just one win (against probably Philippines) while Kimia needs two wins against unknown athletes, they are both top seeds here.

 

interesting to see Nikpai for Afghanistan once again, they also have Haidari in 58kg who is a former world medalist, 58kg is in a very high level.

Awesome, some more events where athletes literally only need 1 win  (women's +67kg)

Timor-Leste has the 4th seed in women's -49. We can already know how serious some seedings are.

I meant why not talk about the Olympic qualifying in the Olympic qualifying thread?
