Here I am with the questions again

 

What on earth happened in the last minutes here?

It was 6-6 and 'easily' before the clock reaches zero, red takes blue down and gets 2 points and wins....then red protests?! Why on earth is red going for a protest? And they lose it! And then it's minutes of both athletes protesting everything and nobody knowing who the winner is  Blue won, but I have no idea why.. 

 

Just watched the last action, Turkey scored a takedown but they annulled that because she grabbed a pulled Mongolian hair for a moment before the action, I'm not really familiar with such action, things like that never happen in men's wrestling. they penalized her for that , giving 1pt to Mongolia. but it took time to add that 1 extra point to the scoreboard and for a second Turkish girl thought she is going to win the match

Thank you for the 6795th answer to my questions. Still one women's weight class and all Greco-Roman classes to go, there's gonna be more

who could expect this Korean guy winning a medal ?! even in that super easy bracket he was one of the weakests ! he lost to so many below average Iranian wrestlers in Asia but now he won this historical medal for Korea. first ever Heavy weight medal for his country.

 

also I'm glad Heiki Lucky lost. I think there was ZERO action in all 3 matches he wrestled here. he is always like this. extremely boring and usually cautions go on his way and making him the "winner" not today at least

what I can say about this final ?! probably the easiest match of Semenov's career. it happens when UWW does magic in the draw and put ALL favorites in one side. it happens when someone who isn't even in top 10 in the weight advances to the final by having a very easy draw.

What a great win for this Georgian Serbian guy

And now go go Nemes

No Armenia in medal match

well, that was unexpected. so after all our Greco team won't go home completely "empty handed" no fun to win a medal by walkover but I'm sure Aliyari will take that.

 

and interestingly I saw a bit of tear from our coach, he knows he will get crucified by media when the team comes back home. what a disaster

Maybe a gift for Russia not winning any golds last year?

 

Are there any other wrestlers besides Nabi and Kudla you "enjoy very much"?
