Belgium

 

Women

Raheleh Asemani (-57kg)

 

Men

Si Mohamed Ketbi (-58kg)

Jaouad Achab (-68kg)

 

 

Yep, Asemani. We all know the story I guess and I think we all have the same opinion on this. 

The other big thing is Ketbi is selected after all, after a whole lot of problems with staying under the weight limit. Meaning Mourad Laachraoui isn't going to Rio and the Dutch headlines of a while back ("Brother of Brussels terrorist going to Rio") were indeed bullshit, as expected.

At least we're going to avoid a bunch of uncomfortable fluff pieces I guess...

 

The Asenani situation is really unfortunate, but oh well. It's debatable if Belgium earned that spot, but Asemani won it for herself fair and square.

Yeah, my problem really is not with Asemani herself. Indeed, she was apparently good enough to qualify. The problem is with Belgium not having a quota place and Belgium apparently having "two" athletes at the OQT where one was allowed.

Yes, Belgium made a mess of this but what can you do... This sudden Refugee team idea just shows how much influnce mass media has on IOC... It's not like refugees didn't exist before last year.

 

Asemani at least qualified. Meanwhile, they have given wild cards to some track & field athletes who literally don't have personal best times. Considering that, we might easily see some of the slowest times in Olympic history... Ethiopian marathon is the only one who actually has a PB. I just hope that some athletes who actually deserve to take part in the Olympics will not miss out because wild cards had to be given to such athletes...
