The Olympic qualification is held in Sofia, Bulgaria. The qualifiers were moved once, but after the successful European Championships held in the same place, the places in Tokyo can be divided. Health and safety measures are strict during the tournament. The entire competition takes place in a bubble built inside a hotel. In addition, the match event itself is still a bubble within a bubble. In the Olympic qualification, the best two in the series get the race ticket, and in the Paralympic qualification, the winner of the entire series. In both competition formats, qualifying is conducted with a merciless direct cup diagram.

In addition to the TU11 representatives, Turku's Niko Saarinen in the men's under 58 kg category and Madrid-based Suvi Mikkonen in the women's under 57 kg category will participate in the qualification from Finland.

Jenna Partanen, taekwondo, women under 67 kilos, Match day Friday 7.5.

Jenna's set is very curly. There are twenty people who can realistically claim a race ticket. The only standout early favorite is the series' number one in Europe, France's Magda Wiet-Hen. Jenna took on Wiet-Henin at the 2019 Universiade, bending just fine.

However, Jenna's finishing has gone well and Jenna goes to the tournament in the role of a challenger, but with confidence.

Matti Sairanen, para-taekwondo, men under 61 kilos, combined disability category K44-K43, Match day Sunday 9.5.

Matti is ranked number one in the series in his own disability category K44. The athletes coming from the combined series K43 are significantly more seriously injured, so the starting situation is good. However, the competition format does not allow for bad luck or mistakes. The strongest resistance in the forehand is Azerbaijan's Imamaddin Khalilov.
