Not sure i understand. So if someone loses to the alter finalist in the 1st round still gets a chance for bronce medal right? Which also means you could win bronze with two wins?

Olympian1010 7,479 Posted July 7, 2021 #13 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I really dislike the current format for repechage. I’d prefer to see the 4 quarterfinal losers face off in two repechage semifinals, with the winners facing the semifinal losers for bronze. NearPup and NMQ 2 “Sport has the power to change the world.

MHSN 3,221 Posted July 9, 2021 #16 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Entry list for Taekwondo http://www.worldtaekwondo.org/att_file/news/TKW - Olympic athletes list_records and stats links.pdf I see only three changes (we already knew two of them) replaced Jesus Tortoas in men's 58kg with Adrian Vicente replaced Aliyah Shipman in women's 67kg with Lauren Lee also replaced Irem Yaman with Hetice Ilguin in women's 57kg I think now it's easy to "predict" the draw which will be completely based on 1st July ranking.
