wait, hold on a minute ! How on earth the guy managed to be seeded ? I mean I can not remember a sigle decent result from him since the random world silver medal he won a nice couple of years ago ?  :lol:

 

wrestling is not like Tennis. some top wrestlers prefer only 1 or 2 competitions per year. it's based on 2018 World Champs, 2019 continental champs and 4 selected international tournaments.

 

for example in that 86kg weight our guy who is the clear favorite for the gold, is ranked 3rd because he didn't wrestle in Asian Champs. only went to one of those international tournaments. that result + his 2018 Worlds result was only good enough for 3rd place in the ranking which I believe he doesn't care because the only wrestler in the world capable of challenging him is unseeded and can be anywhere in the draw.

 

as I said, the best thing about being seeded is receiving a bye in the first round. beside that it's not a sure thing if it helps. I see only in 3 weights (74, 97 and 125) all of gold medal favorites in top 4. for other weights there is at least one gold medal favorite being unseeded

  • Taimuraz Salkazanov  (-79kg)

 

 

how the hell Salkazanov jumped up two weight classes ? he was 70kg last year and logically he should try 74kg this year which is an Olympic weight. are u sure there is no mistake here ?

No idea, Maybe it´s just a mistake, I don´t know much about in fact, I just discovered it in the official document of our federation, when searching about the nomination for the WCh. https://www.zapasenie.sk/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/nominacia-ms-s-nur-sultan-14.8.-2019.pdf

 

I am a bit disappointed to not see Akhsarbek Gulaev didn´t get a chance to compete at the worlds seniors though. how you can start learning and gain experience if you´ll not get a chance...

yes, no mistake...he's really listed in the 79kg class...

 

@hckosice

about Gulaev...is there a chance that he's not yet eligible for an Olympic qualification tournament because of the stricter IOC rules on changing Nationality (like our Cuban and Russian guys)? :mumble:

 

meanwhile, for what concerns Italy, it's confirmed that we won't be able to start Abraham Conyedo (men's FS -97kg) nor Shamil Kudiiamagomedov (men's FS -86kg) nor Nikoloz Kakhelashvili (men's GR -97kg, replaced by "granny" Daigoro Timoncini)...

that fuck*n' Italian burocracy! :facepalm::wall:

 

our team will feature only:

 

- Givi Davidovi (FS -57kg)

- Frank Chamizo Marquez (FS -74kg)

- Jacopo Sandron (GR -60kg)

- Riccardo Vito Abbrescia (GR -77kg)

- Fabio Parisi (GR -87kg)

- Daigoro Timoncini (GR -97kg)

- Arianna Carieri (WW -57kg)

- Aurora Campagna (WW -62kg)

- Dalma Caneva (WW -68kg)

- Eleni Pjollaj (WW -76kg)

 

 

p.s. @MHSN why don't you write a letter to UWW explaining the correct interpretation of the names of the Iranian athletes? ;)

I'm looking at the entry list and I see some scary 200-letter names :yikes: which I'm sure they are not the right ones...

Cool, can I watch an off-the-mat live stream? :cheer: 

 

once I heard (back in 2010) Kazakhs paid a Korean referee in the men's room. I don't think there will be live stream for that :d

 

but yeah with Kazakhstan being the host, we should expect dirty things. last year we had unbelievably one sided draws in favor of the host nation. I won't be surprised to see that again.

Don´t know. But since it´s primarily a World Championships so I guess he can compete, since he competed in some worldwide juniors competitions already before

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
