    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

    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)

    This Brazilian Twitter account - one of the best covering Olympic Sports remembered that actually a Saudi girl got a ranking quota on Judo for Tokyo.
     
    But Abutaleb was the first one to qualify through an OQT

    The refugee team should have the same restrictions as the other nations, two men and two women attempting to qualify overall (I'm okay with them competing in the continent they are currently living in). The European qualifier had three men and two women while the Asian qualifier has four men competing.
     
    Adding the restriction would at least decrease the chance of someone trying to use this as a loophole to compete at the Olympics.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Asian Championships Entry list

    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.

    Right because the statement is mentioned under reallocation heading rather than continental quota elligibility.
     
    On a flip side WT hosted a camp for Oceania nations in which  participated. The nations were asked to nominate 4 for the camp and after extensive research found that all of them had a representative in W -67, M -68 and+80 or it's preceding non Olympic class. It's no brainer that Australia will not chose these weights so the problem will be for Australia rather these nations.
