And our guy Micic beat this guy from Kazakhstan in -57 few weeks ago in Poland. But he had problem with injury and he missed this WC

 

that's a shame. I think I told another Serbian user (in private message) that this guy is a decent wrestler.

 

btw just for info this guy is in fact Artas Sanaa from Russia. they stole him and changed his name to something Kazakh

Russia, USA almost everywhere they have 4 wrestlers in medal round today and 3 in semifinals. the only defeat of USA today was against Russia at 65kg and for Russia it was 92kg against our Karimi. the team titile is indeed between those 2 countries. first day was great for Georgia but they have nobody in semifinal today, still 3 of their wrestlers are still alive and have chance for repechage. (hopefully only Khinch gets a second chance ) also not a good day for Turkey. Erdin and Demirtas were lucky with the draw yesterday (Demirtas didn't use that) and again Boke was lukcy today but lost it to Japan in last seconds. it seems Iran has a shot for 3rd place in team ranking. it will be between Iran, Georgia and Turkey. and maybe just maybe Azerbaijan.

 

we have 5 wrestlers today for afternoon session. despite some heartbreaking defeats our results were better than my expectations in general (of course except Yazdani's defeat) I wasn't expecting much from this team and most of our wrestlers got brutal draw. Atri, Maghsoudi, Hosseinkhani, Yazdani, Karimi and Hadi !! unblievable 6 out of 8 got brutal draw. only Yakhkeshi and Akbari got OK draw (still no easy but balanced) I know bad draw happens for everybody but for each team usually some of them get easy draw . for example for USA, they were very lucky with 57 and 125 or Turkey was lucky with 74, 86 and 92. Karimi, Maghsoudi, Hadi and Hosseinkhani got Olympic Champions in 1st or 2nd round.

great job by Bajrang defeating valdes in a narrow match to reach the finals of the 65Kg .....it will be against takuto so he has a reasonable chance for a gold ....... That would be third time in history we have an Indian in a world championship final ....... sushil won indias only gold in 2010 ........ also bajrang becomes the only Indian wrestler to win 2 wrestling medals at the world championship

Once again the women will be our chance at medals.. We have become an average wrestling nation in the men..

since our wrestlers for tomorrow are weak and got brutal draw as usual. this is official now that after 13 years we won't have a wrestler in final in freestyle (ironically it happened in 2005 , again in Budapest) . very sad because we could have more than 2-3 wrestlers in the final. Akbari was leading 3-0 he had COMPLETE control over Hassanov, gave him no chance but then in last 30 seconds he gave up a pushout and TD lost it 3-3 ! and Karimi being brilliant in the morning made stupid mistake while the score was 2-2 and he was on top. easily let Cox to counter him and score and since then things got out of his hands.

 

now we will have 5 wrestlers in bronze medal match ! let's collect some bronze at least.
