not this time...

not Gold and/or Silver, at least (and I hope not even Bronze, considered that we still have Conyedo with a chance)...

go Cuba...ops, I mean...go Italy!!

 

I think Oliynik will be favorite against both Conyedo or the Mongolian but I believe Conyedo has a chance . Oliynik is not such a great wrestler. if i'm not wrong he left Ukraine because he could not make their national team here.

what an end of the women's -55kg semi between Sidakova and Winchester!

finally the last attempt of the US girl was denied by the video judge and the Belrussian won it...but it was fun to watch her praying and crying ad hoping while the refs were analyzing the video replay...

in any case, tomorrow she'll be destroyed by the Japanese Mukaida, who had a relatively easy semi vs the Chinese girl...

what a match both wrestlers gave everything they had. I was expecting Bajrang to win the gold but damn who was this guy Otoguro ?! I didn't even know him before yesterday. this is what only Japan capable of. only Japan can send someone completely unknown and win medal. they did that with Higuchi in Rio. or Shinobu Ota.

 

but I don't know if he was injured or faking injury to have a bit rest.

The supposed "mistaken" challenge clearly also played into the Japanese's hands in terms of rest. Great bout though.

 

Also, Otoguro is World Cadet Champion and had teched Takatani (Japanese silver medalist at Asian Games) in Japanese trials..

yesss...vamos Cuba!...ops, I wrote it again...I mean, andiamo, Italia!

 

Conyedo won a tough battle against the Mongolian guy and so we have another Cuban-born Italian in a Bronze medal bout...

let's see if he can beat the last FS medal chance for the Host Nation, Pavlo Oliinyk (he too, not a proper Hungarian-born guy...but it's the modern globalized world, my friends )...
