Well, anytime people say, that Russia is banned from the 2024 OG, you can mention, that half of the wrestling field is of Russians. :lol:

you also got a very good Ukrainian wrestler, Semen Novikov is listed for Bulgaria in Zagreb Open
https://uww.org/article/zagreb-open-ranking-series-entry-list

 

he is a two time World U23 Champion + European Senior Champion but had to sit out for main events because of the Olympic Champion Zhan Beleniuk

 

I also see lots of Russian names representing other countries but they are all average or below average wrestlers, I still doubt Russian tier 1 wrestlers switch country.

Yeah, i saw some articles about him, when we had our national championships a week ago. I'm definitely not excluding ourselves from the mix, as we have one of the biggest foreign teams around :lol:  Mnatsakanian, Umarpashaev, Bataev, Magamaev, Abdelslam (even, if he is always injured), now this Ukrainian fellow. Quite embarrassing i would say from a historical plan, but that's how "the mighty have fallen".

Bulgaria used to be the country that their talents fly away and represent other countries , it looks like things changed :d

Ivan Yarygin tournament will start in Russia tomorrow. this used to be the toughest international wrestling competition. you had to beat several top Russian wrestlers to win a medal. but now it's mostly a local competition between them. but I also see a limited number of non-Russian wrestlers in the list, mostly from Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Moldova, KGZ etc. Iran also sent a small team of 3rd-4th tier wrestlers.

 

I was checking the brackets and it's still a very high level competition with likes of Rashidov, Sidakov, A. Magomedov.

from their tier 1 wrestlers I can't see Olympic Champions Zaur Uguev and the great Sadulaev in the list. Uguev wrestled in a league competition in Iran few weeks ago and also wrestled in PWL League so we know he is OK but what about the Tank ? where is him exactly ? when was the last time he wrestled.

I wonder how I  missed Uguev's name :facepalm:

 

he was in top of the table and also made it to the final against Akhmed Idrisov.

 

Russia tried to keep its top wrestlers in good shape by having several competitions, specially PWL league with good prize money (also invited some of our top wrestlers, some of them went, some didn't) but for whatever reason the great Sadulaev is still missing, probably not interested in minor competitions. he was on his way to break all records, nobody could beat him except Putin :mad:

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ?

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
