    Um... wtf.

    It's telling how much Hungarian media doesn't care about taekwondo that there isn't even a report about the matches so far, while they were quick to report the defeats in women's wrestling.
  3. Vektor
    btw, Salim was even conceived when we qualified in taekwondo that last time.

    Is it always like this, or something just doesn't work correctly in Sofia? The video challenges are ridiculously long compared to other combat sports.
  7. Vektor
    Well, I guess I will just have to hope that Salim won't be too old for Paris if he won't qualify now. (I am joking, he will be 20, that should still be fine)
  8. Vektor
    btw, are younger athletes strong in this sport? I mean, Salim is a new European champion and Ravet is also a new European champion, and they are really young. Salim is 17, Ravet is 18 years old, and maybe they would have qualified from the ranking if it wouldn't have been closed in 2019 and there would be competitions like in judo. Seems a bit unfair to young athletes that the ranking was closed so long ago if teenagers can just suddenly appear in taekwondo and win continental championships.
  9. Vektor
    Yeah, I am not sure if we got lucky with the draw so far, but this will probably be the end for us because your athletes seem stronger.

    Füredi is also match away from the quota! What an unexpected turn of events, we are suddenly closer to quotas in taekwondo than in wrestling.
  11. Vektor
    Wow, Salim is one match away from winning the first Hungarian quota in taekwondo since 2000.

    Well, that's it for Hungarian freestyle wrestling, 1+1 quotas, one of them is from a Russian and the other is from a 37 years old Marianna Sastin...

    I didn't mean it as my own opinion of the sport (personally I prefer wrestling over many other Olympic disciplines), more like as a general perception of it. UWW has failed to promote the sport, if that wouldn't be the case, wrestling wouldn't lose athlete quotas while other combat sports are gaining events.

    Group A (Debrecen): Group B (Budapest): Group C (Szeged): Group D (Bratislava): Group E (Bratislava): Group F (Kosice):

    And the issue isn't that countries aren't willing to spend on Olympic sports. We sure are spending a significant amount of money to raise talented athletes. Wrestling is just.... not cool. I feel like judo is doing a much better job, even here in Hungary, despite us having a far greater history in wrestling. Also, if us, the country that qualifies with purely Hungarian athletes in the women's table tennis team event, starts to throw money at Russian wrestlers instead of Hungarians, you know that the sport is in deep shit.
  17. Vektor
    It's just not fair to athletes if they aren't given the opportunity to work for other nations. Professional sport is a job like any other and in many of these sports the only way to make a lot of money is by competing on the Olympic level. I am sure as hell would be angry if I wouldn't be allowed to work in a foreign country.
  18. Vektor
    Doesn't wrestling have a similar rule? I am pretty sure our Russians didn't compete on the international level for a whole year before they started entering events as Hungarians. This rule doesn't make much difference when the sport is dying in some countries, at least in some disciplines. We wouldn't have these Russians if we would have enough top level Hungarians in men's freestyle like in greco-roman. We are a successful nation in wrestling but the sport is still starting to die here.
  19. Vektor
    Why wouldn't they allow it? This is how sport works in the 21st century, there's nothing unusual about this. The issue isn't with that Russians are competing for other countries, the issue is that wrestling is so unpopular in other countries that second tier Russian wrestlers are able to take quotas from athletes born outside of Russia. Solve it by making wrestling more popular outside of Russia.
  20. Vektor
    Kudos to Ligeti, at least it was a close match against the Russian. Only one Hungarian Russian in Tokyo in men's freestyle, no wrestlers born in Hungary for the first time since... ever? Since the start of the sport?
  21. Vektor
    Fuck, one in the entire freestyle tournament, and ofc he will wrestle against a Hungarian.

    Great job from Ungvári, he's in the final in Kazan, I think this will make his qualification very likely.
  24. Vektor
    Well, at least Ligeti is doing everything he can to qualify, too bad that he will have to beat a Russian.
  25. Vektor
    I think it's not the first time from our Hungarian Russians that they manage to lose in the last few seconds of their match. We tried to increase our quotas with Russians in freestyle, and in the end we only got one.
