Wrestling UWW European Championships 2019

[Federer91 2,904]

Stellar Biliyana Dudova once again. 3rd straight Euro title in three different categories and without giving a single point in all 4 matches   This girl is so amazing. We could have had another title, but two heartbreaking loses beforehand. Our whole womens team is doing a fantastic job.

OMG!!!!! we have a girl in the gold medal match!!! I just can't believe that! (and she's not there only because of a favourable draw...on her way through the final, she beat among others, also Marianna Sastin, multiple world medallist )...

Hmm, she is a mystery, don't know her. Very good run though, but Taybe is going to run her over tomorrow.

well, she's very young (and improving, for what I see)...

 

as her best result so far, she won the bronze medal at last year's Junior Worlds (beaten only by a Japanese girl)...

 

but I think she's not ready to face someone like Yusein yet...I think that tomorrow your girl will win by superiority...but still, this is a very good and unexpected result for our team (our only real hope for a medal was Chamizo)...

Unfortunately, Astana is the last place on Earth where an honest draw would take place.

Regarding the European Champs, how would you rate the technical level of competition?

unfortunately you are right. Kazakhstan was never a "fair" host in wrestling competitions. but it's more up to UWW to have "real draw" or let the organizers put a virus into their drawing software

 

I have to say I wasn't "that impressed" with the level. we only had few interesting finals. and Russia didn't bring some of A team members. I think most countries have long term training plans for the World Championship which is the main Olympic qualifier. in Asia (at least  for Iran) the Asian Championship is usually part of the preparation plans for the World Championship. that's never the target competition.(unlike the Asian Games) I had the feeling this European Champs was also something like that for some countries.
