Nigeria
For the first time in 12 years, Nigeria will not compete in Taekwondo at the Olympics.
The country flopped at the qualifiers in Morocco as a four-man team failed to qualify for the Olympics for the first time in its history. All fighters lost in the Semi-Finals.
African Champion, Uzoamaka Otuadinma, and African Games silver medallist, Chinazum Nwosu both narrowly lost to Morocco while Edwin Samson lost to Senegal via second round stoppage via kick to mouth.
Nigeria misses the event after three consecutive ones.
