so what ? that was really a stupid and irrelevant comment,
 
what does that mean ? Iran do not want to win medal in women's sport ? and who's Iran btw ?
 
how many Muslim countries have the same number of medals won by men and women ? maybe just 1 or 2, probably even nobody. this is more a cultural thing. even before the "Islamic Revolution" Iran never had any kind of achievement in women's sports. all of female Olympians almost finished last in their competitions. nowadays it's different girls are more interested in sports, but still it will take years to make up for those years being far behind, and there are also some limitations in some sports because of the dress code.
 
and Iran is not a "person" to cares about anything. it's a country. most people in the country care but some do not care and even do not believe in equality. but things don't improve overnight. it takes time (Iran already has better women's team in some sports) and off course the current situation doesn't help. improving women's sport is not a priority right now in the country, there are million other priorities right now. that's a lengthy topic and I'm not going to write more for you.
 
and apparently human right is a relative thing, people talk about it only when it's in their benefit to do so,

as of last night, IWF officially disqualified the 2012 Olympic Champion Oleksiy Torokhtiy ! we knew that for a year but in situations like this , first we hear the news of IOC disqualifying the guy, and then few months later IWF modifies the result but IWF website shows IOC already banned the guy, probably few months ago but they just forgot to make it public ! 
 
now officially Navvab Nasirshalal from Iran will be upgraded to the gold medal position. Bartlomiej Bonk of Poland will receive the silver medal. but still we have to wait for the bronze medal because eventual 4th placer Ruslan Nurudinov is also banned by IOC (not yet by IWF) and when they finish his case, the bronze medal will go to his countryman Ivan Efremov.
 
and this will be Iran's 3rd gold medal after re-testing !    and 2 of those new Olympic Champions were last minute replacements ! if someone checks this guy Nasirshalal's resume, his next best result is bronze at the Asian Championships speaking of luck and having the best day of your career at the right time.
 
now Iran has 7 gold medals in that Olympics, same as Japan ! and only 1 less than sport powerhouses like Italy and Australia only if they could win those medals in the competition and not 7 years later
 
----------------------------
 
Edit: checking IOC website, actually they disqualified him tonight ! still it should be months ago though,

Mardani out in the first round, so it was all for nothing winning 2 quota was easy in Asian qualifiers,
 
but Mardani lost 9-1 and 17-5 !!! I don't think the Chinese guy scored that much. it was a system error and the system was too generous to him ! once it gave 2pts while they were just watching each other, they only erased those 2pts but I think more than half of his points were wrong. but it doesn't matter anymore.
 
so all 3 quotas are already decided
 
Women's 49kg: Wu Jingyu
Women's 57kg: Zhou Lijun
Men's +80kg: Mahama Cho

1st day medalists:
 
Women's 67kg:
1. Matea Jelic
2. Doris Pole
3. Guo Yunfei
 
Men's 68kg:
1. Lee Dae-Hoon
2. Zhao Shuai
3. Lin Wenye
 
Men's 80kg:
1. Maksim Khramtcov
2. Hwan Nam-Goong
3. Nikita Rafalovich

2nd day draw
http://www.worldtaekwondo.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Draw-SheetDay-2-No-Contest-Number.pdf
 
+80kg:
Mardani is the main chance for the quota but he has to rank higher than In Kyo-Don and most probably win a bronze. but on paper there are chances for some athletes but most of them need both In Kyo-Don and Mardani losing in their first matches ! Radik Isaev has a better chance than others because he can qualify if he wins the gold and both thoese guys do not medal.
 
49kg:
it's a sure thing China will grab the quota. Only 2 athletes are capable of grabbing the quota, Wenren Yuntao and Wu Jingyu both from China and even if both of them fail that will go to Wu Jingyu ! and it doesn't really matter who wins the quota, China can send any of these two girls (most probably Wu)
 
57kg:
the only athlete capable of winning the GS quota is Zhou Lijun and she is also the 6th place ranked in WR ! which means she will win the quota 100%.
 
================
 
no much competition for 49 and 57, both quota go to China. only men's +80kg is a serious competition for the Grand Slam quota. Mahamo Cho is 6th in WR waiting for the results here.

You know Khramtcov was 1pts down in Golden round in last 5 seconds in QF against another Korean, he tied the round and won that match only by superiority the narrowest possible margin. he was supposed to give Korea false hope only to deny them at last !
 
so to make a summary
 
nobody qualified through the Grand Slam Ranking today. all 3 quotas went to the World Ranking .
 
Women's 67kg ==>> Paige McPherson
Men's 68kg ==>> Mirhashem Hosseini
Men's 80kg ==>> Toni Kanaet

Well, good thing I only tuned in for the final then.

is there anything to do or to follow rather than breaking these lights on the top of the site 

nope unless you calculate it yourself (I did it only for athletes in question)
 
and I don't think WT publishes the full ranking before January 2020.

no for Martinez , he could not participate in the European OQT, because Spain already had 2 (I'm sure you knew the rules)
 
I think Alessio will be one of the big favorites but we always have surprises , continental qualifiers won't be easy for anybody. but it will be funny if Aaron Cook misses the Olympics.

no that was irrelevant, Grand Slam is a different tournament will be held in China in 2 weeks. and has its own ranking. (adding points from 2017, 2018 and 2019 Grand Slam)
 
right now these 2 Koreans are leading in that ranking too but there is a Chinese guy next to them, if that guy Liang Yushuai wins this 2019 Grand Slam he also will win the quota. otherwise it goes to Woolley and I can say that's highly unlikely for the Chinese guy to win the gold. there will be lots of guys better than him in the competition.

I made some quick calculations, here is the points between those candidates after the deduction before this event. I didn't consider the top 3 as they have far more points
as you can see Seif Essa will lose more points simply because he collected more points in month of December in previous years.
UZB 278.27
ESP 273.96
CRO 271.58
EGY 262.58
 
this is how it looks like for all of them now, for now I count 4th place finish for both Essa and Rafalovich
 
4) UZB 278.27+17.28=295.55
5) ESP 273.96+12.1=286.06
6) CRO 271.58+12.1=283.68
7) EGY 262.58+17.28=279.86
 
there will be 11pts difference between 4th place and bronze medal. there is no way he can finish 6th (and waiting for the Grand Slam), it will be either 5th or 7th. which means direct qualification or nothing.
 

Thanks! 
I remember that wonder Iranian girl from Rio. But i forgot her name. 

obviously they are looking at the current ranking and that's why they said that , Seif Essa is 5th and all athletes below him are eliminated , so that's easy conclusion
 
but they are wrong. and let's hope your athlete doesn't count on that. I saw his reaction after the defeat when he was thanking God  (even though he somehow got robbed with those cheap punch points but that's another matter) it seems he feels he is already qualified.
 
there will be points deduction each month, that's why you can't trust the current ranking. you have to consider those points deduction first.

not complete yet, still few places open , e.g. winners GP Moscow, WT nominations etc 

I think Wu (CHN) and Tomic (CRO)  are practically safe in F49. Tomic 100% safe if they correct the points.  I did not follow all weight categories so cannot comment. 
in M 80 ESP is 5th, CRO 6th, but Egypt can overtake them with 3rd place tomorrow. And KOR with good chances for GS quota. 
F57: CHN probably gets last quota
