  1. both of our athletes won the quota quite easily sometimes you have to work really hard. travel around the world. participate in so many tournaments in 2-3 years to qualify but sometimes it can be very easy like today and yesterday. Taekwondo qualification system is really weird, it shouldn't be like this
  2. quota fights 58kg M: vs / vs +80kg M: vs / vs 57kg W: vs / vs +67kg W: vs / vs no quota for Afghanistan Mohsen Rezaee who was their best chance in all sports lost two close rounds to the Palestinian athlete (if I'm not wrong a former World Junior medalist) and Amiri at +80 lost a very close match to TPE.
  3. no I don't think so. they made it clear in the rules that the reallocation will happen with respect to that original rule so I assume that will go to the next available athlete. (from Brazil if he doesn't qualify himself directly in Pan-Am)
  4. because Ulugbek Rashitov was already qualified at 68kg. they had just one more male spot available
  5. Africa/Oceania qualifier entries https://arena.uww.org/weight-category/1eee288e-262c-6d64-a25c-3f0e9d4ebcc0 more wrestlers in freestyle. in Greco some weights have only 4 or 6 athletes
  6. there are something like 3 millions Afghans living in Iran (legally or illegally), so I guess that's the answer. most (if not all) of their Taekwondo athletes grew up here. my point is, he probably had both options. when he didn't make the Afghan team, he used the plan B.
  7. well. you can't be luckier than this Abbasi guy he even lost a round to Nepal. but managed to win some close matches and in the SF, he lost the 1st round and was trailing in the 2nd round too but then he landed a big big kick and the HKG guy probably didn't notice the count, therefore didn't say " I'm ready" to the ref and lost by RSC. I know some people here think this refugee idea is cool and nice but it's not. this guy Abbasi was representing Afghanistan until few months ago (I mean even years after the fall of Kabul, it's not like he fled the country when the savages of Taliban arrived) Afghanistan can send only 2 athletes here (like everybody else) they have two much better athletes in 58kg and +80kg. so this guy probably thought OK I can apply to be in "King Tommy team" and found a shortcut to the Olympics. if anybody with a refugee status can participate, then each country should be allowed to send so many as they want. I mean if you can't make the national team , you can always easily make the refugee team. you don't have to be a real refugee. King Tommy accepts everybody.
  8. that was even much worse, he was calling them V I E, I mean he was saying "Vee ai, ee" not even Vietnam Chinese commentators are usually this bad when they try to speak English. I had seen this before in other Taekwondo competitions in China.
  9. I was also surprised by that late penalty but I wasn't paying too much attention to that specific match. so I can't say for certain
  10. there is no results page (as far as I know) I just finished watching the quarterfinals
  11. quota fights M 68kg vs / vs M 80kg vs / vs W 49kg vs / vs W 67kg vs / vs Chinese Taipei losing to Hong Kong was the huge huge surprise today. which created a very good chance for the Afghan athlete (refugee now) to qualify. TPE also lost in the women's side. that KSA girl also has a very good chance to qualify, I assume that will be the first ever quota for a Saudi girl (not counting wild cards)
  12. that was expected actually. Rafalovich has a good rank mostly because of his old results, their 80kg guys (both Jaysunov and Salaev) had more success recently, Jaysunov was only few seconds away from qualifying through the Grand Slam. beside that 80kg will be much easier for then to earn the quota.
  13. Asian Championships Entry list https://arena.uww.org/weight-category/1eee02d6-2759-659e-9ff0-c71089015e53 the list is still incomplete. no UZB , no KGZ yet. but PRK is there which means they will participate at the AQT too. making things harder for everybody. India team is also very incomplete and from what I know wrong. (this is their AQT list, not the AChamps list) from what I see some countries are sending their B-level wrestlers because of the obvious reason. but those big names already qualified are mostly here.
  14. maybe, just maybe we are reading it wrongly. no way WT can do such a thing, that's like demolishing the Oceania qualifier. because I highly doubt we will see more than 3 competitors in any of those 8 events. maybe max 1 or 2 I think only when it comes to "reallocationg the quotas" they won't give it to the next guy if there are less than 4 competitors and that re-allocated quota will go to the World Ranking.
  15. The Mexican guy pinned Paalam to the ring by some wrestling techniques. he finished that bout on pain. I'm not surprised he didn't continue but that means that piece of crap TKM boxer (who beat our guy completely unfairly) is going to the QF without doing anything.
  16. yeah we are becoming a superpower in winter sports Canada and Norway should watch out
  17. I don't think so. as far as I understand they are not being considered as the same team. the IOC just uses the same term for both of them to confuse us
  18. oh shit, we will have the same drama again looking at the ranking and seedings it's again very much possible to have that match right in the first round. hopefully not
  19. I'm watching the next day draw and that made me confused Russia qualified one male athlete at the Grand Slam (V. Larin) and now they have M. Khramtcov trying to get the 2nd quota but then I saw G. Gurtsiev at 58kg but apparently he is representing Belarus now, kind of weird to move from one AIN to another AIN
  20. that was electronically scored. not by human.
  21. completely useless just in case if someone withdraws later or tests positive for doping which almost never happen in this sport
  22. there wasn't even a single doubtful call in that match, not sure what you are talking about. feel really sorry for the Bulgarian girl though, she will not forget this defeat for so many years
  23. today in Vehbi Emre tournament in Turkey https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4QmxSVoKsd/ this is the semifinal between Mokhtari (blue) and Saricicek (red) . both guys obviously got disqualified after this and their QF losers wrestled instead for a place in the final. Saricicek had a huge huge surprise before this and beat the World Champion Makhmudov. it was also our internal trials for the Olympics (first for the OQT) Mokhtari beat his main local opponent in the QF but after his disqualification the other guy took his chance and won the gold, which means he is going to the Asian OQT. You always benefit from someone else's dumb mistake
  24. my point is. if you watch any sport for the first time. after few hours. or maximum few days you will have a pretty good idea about the officiating. you don't need to read the rules to know who is better or who will get the better score (except for close calls) but in boxing it's just random. I know some refs are corrupt and favor certain countries but I mostly think they are just very bad and don't care. they randomly give a 10-9 to someone. the officiating was always bad in amateur boxing and it's only getting worse and worse
