Eurosport has been airing commercials for this for a while now, but I have a feeling they're going to show exactly 0 seconds of action.. (same with archery for example) 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Before the start of the World Championships, the Bureau of UWW will vote on a few changes. The first one is will the Par Terre remain in Greco-Roman. UWW Vice-President Tseno Tsenov acknowledged that for now the perception is that the Par Terre will remain, but the wrestlers will no longer get a point if there is no right technique done. Plus if the match finishes 0:0, both wrestlers would be disqualified, which Tsenov says will push wrestlers to be more active and aggressive in the matches. Also, there is going to be a vote on, whether the competitions will switch to a two-day format for a categorie, instead of the one-day, we are having now. This format was tested in the Junior European Championships last month and the results were very good added Tsenov.

We knew about that for a while even though what I heard is slightly different about the Greco rules.

 

there wlil be few more changes, about the time of the weight-in and most importantly they will decide the new weight classes. probably 10 weight classes for each style (6 Olympics and 4 non-olympic)

 

another important decision is about the world ranking, some countries want that to be the Olympic qualifier. that won't be a good news for non-wrestling nations.specially because they want to give ranking points to the nations not the wrestlers, which means countries can send different wrestlers to the competitions to collect points. obviously this favors the wrestling nations

:SVK TEAM SLOVAKIA :SVK

 

Mens Freestyle

  • Mykola BOLOTNYUK  (-61kg)
  • Boris MAKOEV  (-86kg)
  • Soslan GAGLOEV  (-125kg)

Mens Greco-Roman

  • Leoš DRMOLA  (-71kg)
  • Tamás SOÓS  (-130kg)

 

100% Naturalized team in Freestyle...and yet István Lévai (ex-Hungarian) is still suspended because of Doping from the last years Meldonium case.

Don´t know if our federation even announced any goal, Winning few matches and passing 1-2 rounds would be great I guess

6 categories are few for wrestling in Olympics. UWW must push IOC for 7-7-7.

Six seems perfectly fine, there don't need to be so many as in boxing I guess (before they scrapped some weights)...I mean, for every handful of kg a new category is a bit much :p

There is no world where wrestling would have more events than cycling or gymnastics at the Olympics that could make sense.

 

18 events for wrestling ,is allready too much.
