[World Taekwondo] World Taekwondo Changes Olympic Ranking Points Cycle
 
I think we were already aware that there would be a change to ranking system for LA. It's now confirmed that World Taekwondo are switching to a 2-year ranking cycle. 
 
The first ranking period runs from July'24 - June'26 with the second period running from July'26 to June'28. Ranking points from the first phase will be used to determine entry and seeding for Grand Prix events in the second phase. Only the points acquired from July'26-June'28 will count towards Olympic qualification. 
 
As per previous cycles, the top five athletes in each of the relevant weight categories based on the Olympic rankings published in January'28 will automatically qualify for the LA Olympics. 
 
Another qualification criteria confirmed relates to the Grand Slam Champion Series. In previous qualification pathways, if the top ranked athlete in the Grand Slam merit points was also qualified through the Olympic rankings, the quota was reallocated to the next highest ranked Olympic athlete. For Los Angeles, this quota would be reallocated to the athlete ranked No. 2 in Grand Slam merit points.
 
If this athlete is also within the top-5 in the Olympic rankings, the quota will be given to the next highest ranked athlete in the Olympic rankings.

The announcement is pretty ambiguous. 
 
Pitman said that the first year of an Olympic cycle was "the perfect time to see what else is out there, learn different skills, and to build a new career." She has now joined JP Morgan as an intern but hasn't ruled out being back for LA.  
 
Wise on the other hand has said that he "didn't have another 4 years of the grind left to give" - so I'm not expecting to see him in the mix for Los Angeles. He is however planning to compete in some national compound competitions. 
 
Finally, Bettles has explained her departure through the lens of injury - "The past few years since Tokyo have been a struggle for me with a string of injuries and struggles with my mental health." So, whilst it is probably unlikely, it's not impossible that she too could be back if that's what she decides she wants.

Unfortunately, it came too late for Paris, but the Bello brothers won the Elite 16 event in Rio this weekend. I could be wrong, but I think that is there first tournament win at the Elite16 level and with it, they have broken into the world's top 20. 
 
This should set them up to have a great start to 2025 gaining them direct entry to the Elite 16 level events without having to go through qualifying.

It was a great atmosphere for the match - particularly when  Yuan managed to up her level in the second set. 
 
The crowd favourite all week has been  Fernandez so I was a bit surprised that so many of the crowd didn't come back after the first match - although they could have just been stuck in the queue for the bar. 
 
Should be a good final tomorrow.

The Australian track bike from Paris cost around $100,000 so their budget would seem to be pretty healthy in the grand scheme of things

Bello Brothers have completed their pool matches and have shown pretty form in their 3 matches. 
 
Opening against  Herrera / Gavira, they were unlucky to come out on the wrong side of a 21-23 / 26-24 / 17-15 result. They bounced back today with wins over  Marchetto / Windisch (21-10 / 21-12) and  Schnetzer / Kindl (21-15 / 21-16)
 
They currently top the pool although  v  match is still to finish. 

So I know we're all still basking in the glow of Paris but it's never too early to start thinking about the next games. 
 
We probably wont have the qualification pathways for LA until late 2025 or early 2026 but in the intervening period, I am going to be using live events to model the quotas.
