looks like a very good day for Sterkenburg brothers, the other one Marcel beat Iran and Russia and makes it to the semifinal from what I saw so far, they both can go home with the gold medal

[MHSN 3,651]

@heywoodu the other Sterkenburg also made it to the final probably even better than his brother

@MHSN

Why is the technical superiority in GR a lead by 8 points when it's 10 in Freestyle?

ask UWW maybe for the same reason that bodyweights are different in FS and GR. this is their desperate try to show the world these are two completely different things ! former UWW president once suggested having Greco wrestlers being naked on upper body to "attract" the audience

 

also scoring is harder in Greco in general (specially in higher senior levels) maybe that was another reason

Rather exceptional for a country with little or no wrestling tradition. We are much more a traditional Judo country.

My lord what is happening  

[MHSN 3,651]

Russia dominated the first day of Greco finals. winning 3 gold medals by beating our Norwegian friend and also one of Sterkenburg brothers.

 

Iran and Turkey won the remaining gold medals.

 

not a bad day for Iran, 1 gold and 3 bronze but still nothing compared to our freestyle team's results
