Moroccan association puts the brakes on WT quota allocation Delivered to Moroccan athletes according to the IOC’s authoritative interpretation

Mir Kang leaving the stadium

Taekwondo women’s 49kg class Mir Kang (Yeongcheon City Hall)’s participation in the 2024 Paris Olympics was canceled again.

An official from the Korea Taekwondo Association said on the 2nd, “We received an official letter from the World Taekwondo Federation (WT) stating that there was an error in the process of redistributing Olympic qualifications,” adding, “It was stated that Kang Mir could not participate in the Paris Olympics.”

An official added, “Just last week, Kang Mir won an additional quota, which boosted the national team’s mood. It is very unfortunate,” and added, “We will think about how to respond within the association.”

Kang Mir recently enjoyed the good fortune of receiving a ticket to the Paris Olympics as the women’s 49kg event at the Oceania Paris Olympics quarter meet was canceled due to a lack of participants.

WT reallocated the qualifications according to the Olympic rankings in accordance with International Olympic Committee (IOC) regulations, and Kang Mir, ranked 8th in the Olympic rankings, won the quota. 스포츠 토토사이트

However, a problem arose recently when the Moroccan Taekwondo Association put the brakes on WT’s decision.

Morocco claimed that its national team player Omaima El-Bushti, who has a higher world ranking than Kang Mir, is eligible to participate in the Olympics.

An official from the Taekwondo world said, “Bushti was recently adjusted from the women’s 49kg class to the 57kg class, and in this process, she was excluded from WT’s Olympic quota allocation.” WT inquired about the matter with the IOC, and Bushti “It was decided that priority would be given to ,” he said.

An official explained, “It is difficult to overturn this decision,” and added, “Unfortunately, Kang Mir’s participation in the Olympics has been cancelled.”

As a result, the number of Korean Taekwondo players participating in the Paris Olympics decreased again from 5 to 4.

Based on the WT Olympic rankings, three people – Taejun Park (Kyung Hee University) in the men’s 58kg class, Geonwoo Seo (Korea National Sport University) in the 80kg class, and Lee Dabin (Seoul City Hall) in the women’s over 67kg class – secured tickets to Paris, and won the women’s 57kg class at the Asian quarter competition. Kim Yu-jin (Ulsan Metropolitan City Sports Council) additionally earned the right to participate. 성인웹툰
