MHSN 3,213 Posted September 15, 2022 #32 Share Posted September 15, 2022 nope, Nothing goes our way in this tournament I can't believe how many close matches we lost despite having the lead late in the match. Zare just had to do nothing to beat a desperate Akgul instead he went for a stupid attack in last 20 seconds and gave up a TD. it was 100% guaranteed gold medal with Geno losing to Mongolia in the other SF. looking forward for Yazdani/Taylor tomorrow, but I expect another disappointment. konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,213 Posted September 16, 2022 #33 Share Posted September 16, 2022 US is completely dominating the freestyle competition. they had 3 in the final yesterday and now 3 more in the semifinal today (and I believe all of them will make it to the final) in general they just lost one match so far (125kg to Geno Petriashvili) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,858 Posted September 16, 2022 #34 Share Posted September 16, 2022 This time it wasn't even close... Salkazanov dominated the semifinal against Chamizo from start to finish... Frank couldn't even score a single point...I think it's the first time in his career... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,246 Posted September 16, 2022 #35 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I already said it in the Early Prediction thread and I will repeat it again. who would have thought/bet/believed that best sport in Paris 2024 can be very possibly wrestling ? probably nobody, including me Last wrestler in SVK colours was Musulbes in Beijing 08 where he won also the only SVK wrestling olympic medal since the independence, but after his retirement, the sport has just completely died here That super-ambitious #missionParis2024 project of our Wrestling federation which started a couple of years ago to have 3-4 athletes at the Paris Olympics and win there a medal really looked overly ambitious, slash unrealistic ,double slash utopic, triple slash hilarious, but since last cca 3 years one has to notice that they indeed were going full speed into their goal direction, already that SVK return to the Games with Makoev qualification to Tokyo last year was a first a bit timid sign of change, let see how far they can take that dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep this time it wasn't even close. Taylor had a great plan and it worked well for him I think we are going to finish the tournament with lots of silver and bronze medals but with no gold. Ghasempour is probably our last chance tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the UWW doesn't do what the IJF did for the sake of the athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
