Alright. IWF still didn't publish anything on their website.

 

Surprised that America apparently wasn't given a single wild card.

 

Sorry my post should say Oceania + Americas

 

Both of their tournaments are not finishes.

Algeria will win 2 quotas.

Assuming the wild card entries are accurate I like their choices so far. Sri Lanka was an obvious choice and Bangladesh was a good choice too. I would have preferred to see a man from Madagascar, but at least the nation is represented. Equatorial Guinea is a bit of a surprised, I could imagine other nations being higher priority. Kosovo’s athlete is pretty weak too, but I feel the tripartite commission would be very generous with them. Hopefully they don’t go too overboard with them.

only 3 Gold today , i don't know what's happened to Fethi in 105 kg

 

anyway the competition is finished , who won the quotas in men ?

[JoshMartini007 2,554]

What happened in the -105kg? The winner (who likely competes in the -94kg) would have lost to the winner of the -69kg if they competed against each other.

 selected its three women for the Games: Morghan King (48kg), Jenny Arthur (75kg) and Sarah Robles (75+ kg)
