    Exactly. The whole point of "is she a refugee?" is irrelevant in this situation, she was a refugee. The whole issue is the Belgium quota thing and I think that's going to cost her a place at the Olympics (because now that she's Belgian, I doubt IOC has grounds to let her compete in the Refugee Team?).

    About Asemani: the Flanders Sports assocation surprisingly replied my email and said that there is no doubt about her participation in future European and World Championships (for Belgium), but as far as they know, there is no official decision on her going to the Olympics for Belgium yet.

    Awesome, some more events where athletes literally only need 1 win (women's +67kg)
  4. heywoodu
    So the brothers can go together after all?

    FINA has announced they will investige the French team and their way of losing on purpose in the OQT.
  6. heywoodu
    In that case I gave up, that means it's not my internet's fault But this way it's nothing but frustrating to watch it when it stops every few seconds.

    Am I the only one where the stream is slower than a super heavy weight boxer?
  8. heywoodu
    She still has the world championships to go, but that's a surprise..
  9. heywoodu
    Which other major nations announced their final team?
  10. heywoodu
    Her But yes, I agree with you and I think everyone does. I would have less of an issue with it if Indra Craen didn't compete in the OQT and Asemani would be the only Belgian or almost Belgian or semi-Belgian, but now Belgium had two athletes and that's not fair.

    I've sent emails to the Flemish and Belgian taekwondo federations, the Flemish "sports federation" and the Belgian Olympic Committee. However, they probably won't think "OMG IT'S HEYWOODU ASKING US QUESTIONS!!" so I doubt I'll get any answer

    Not confirmed by WTF yet, I'm relying on Belgian media in this case The only facts we can be absolutely sure about are these: - She qualified a quota place, but did so under the refugee flag - She is now a Belgian citizen with a Belgian passport

    Ah, Etlinger was so close to what seemed to be a huge upset
  14. heywoodu
    Thank you sir I just remembered about the two Japanese women as well, Kaori Icho and Saori Yoshida. Even though Icho had her first loss in 13 years this year, I suppose they're still the major favorites again.

    Expert, I need help. If you were to name 3-4 athletes who had the biggest chance to win gold in Rio, who would you name? The only one I can think of is Abdulrashid Sadulaev who is apparently destroying the field in his class
  16. heywoodu
    Alright, streams are off, now we wait for the first reports of unfair results
  17. heywoodu
    Yes, because of her beating a Belgian at the OQT, meaning Belgium effectively had two athletes in that weight class. Indeed, unfair... The Flemish taekwondo federation didn't answer my emails asking about how they think they can do this unfortuntately
  18. heywoodu
    Belgium.
  19. heywoodu
    Absolutely
  20. heywoodu
    I mostly mean the "official" loss against Ivory Coast because Zimbabwe couldn't afford the plane tickets to travel to Abidjan, after which Ivory Coast withdrew and Zimbabwe was in again
  21. heywoodu
    Zimbabwe had so incredibly much luck Already because of that I hope they do a good job
  22. heywoodu
    That happens to the best
  23. heywoodu
    Well that's a whole different discussion than the "who will win the medals" discussion
  24. heywoodu
    Nobody says that
  25. heywoodu
    Rejecting continental quotas is one thing and we can think of that what we want, but letting athletes compete in an OQT only to take away the quota is just sick.
