Taekwondo at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro is scheduled to take place from 17 to 20 August at the Carioca Arena 3 inside the Barra Olympic Park in Barra da Tijuca. Around 128 taekwondo fighters are expected to compete in eight weight categories; four for men, and four for women.[1]
Qualification
Taekwondo competition at these Games feature a total of 128 athletes, 64 in each gender, and 16 in each of the eight weight categories. Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) is allowed to enter up to a maximum of eight competitors, four of each gender, based on the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) Olympic rankings, such that an athlete per NOC must be among the top six in each weight category. If an NOC has qualified only two female and male athletes through ranking, it cannot participate in the respective Continental Qualification Tournament unless it relinquishes the places obtained through ranking.[2][3]
Four places have been reserved to the host nation Brazil, and another four have been invited by the Tripartite Commission. The remaining 120 places are allocated through a qualification process in which athletes have won quota place for their respective NOC. 48 taekwondo fighters, 24 in each gender and the top 6 in each weight category, are eligible to compete through the ITTF Olympic rankings, while the rest through the five Continental Qualification Tournaments.[2]
If an NOC having qualified through a Qualification Tournament relinquishes a quota place, it would be allocated to the nation of the next highest placed athlete in the respective weight category of that tournament as long as the addition of the place does not exceed the maximum quota for that nation.[2]
