Well I wasn't totally wrong here. Today it was revealed the reason why our archers weren't originally on the entry list.

 

Someone in the federation made an error and signed them up for the wrong event :facepalm:

This person has now resigned, but caused a lot of trouble to our archers who didn't know until a few hours before their flight whether or not they were going to be able to compete in Paris. And one of them ended up qualifying. Imagine if she didn't get the chance because some stupid lady who works for the federation (and probably never touched an archery bow in her entire life) accidentally registered them for a World Cup event instead of the World Olympic Qualifier. Such a careless and ignorant mistake.

At least that person resigned..

 

Our taekwondo team wasn't able to go to Asian Qualifiers because the guy in charge did not register them in the online registration system (but applied for visa and hotel lol). So after the poor athletes arrived in Jordan, but they weren't allowed to compete.

 

To make it more ridiculous, one official from the Ministry of Youth and Sports complained to the Korean ambassador in Indonesia and asking him to make World Taekwondo president intervene and allow the Indonesian athletes to compete :wacko:

She only resigned because there was pressure as she faced a lot of backlash. And in our situation the president of the Hellenic Olympic Committee had to get involved.
