India greco hopes are very modest deservedly.......  Last time we won 1 bout.    This time our Asian championship was good so may be win a few bouts and for one wrestler to reach QF 

Well today we did not win a single bout ... .........i hope we can do something better tomorrow ..... my more realistic goals for India now is maybe that uzbeks and iranians get quota places tomorrow ....... may be allowing us to squeeze a quota or two at the asians

Draws for tomorrow are out. Interestingly, we have our first batch of qualified wrestlers. There are only 4 wrestlers in 130kg : RUS, USA, KOR and EST. 

 

I don't know what happened to rest? All failed the weight? Also, since there were 6 quotas on offer here, will the remaining 2 quotas be added to final qualification tournament? 

 

P.S. @MHSN Heiki Nabi's luck strikes again.

it's impossible...there should be a mistake in the website layout...

 

there are 32 wrestlers in this class in the entry list...

This is just a software mistake, the weight-in isn't in the same time as the draw. but the next day morning. we will have 130kg draw tomorrow.

but actually I had high hopes for our 72kg rep, secretly I was considering him a gold medal favorite but damn he was beyond terrible. just a shadow of himself and ruined my mood in the first match of the day. this kid is a multiple world junior champion. VERY talented but it seems talent is not enough in this stage, you need character too. maybe next time.

 

but Abdevali beating Russia somehow made up for that. now he has gold medal to lose. none of these remaining guys are his match. our 63kg Delkhani will most probably have to wrestle for the bronze. he has a good chance, no excuse if he blows it. Maryanyan is too good for everybody.

 

the biggest surprise in the semifinal is Khashimbekov, this guy used to lose to everybody. I remember even 4th tier Iranian wrestlers had beaten him before. I wonder if he improved amazingly or he just got lucky and beat the European Champion by accident (didn't watch this one but since it was a fall, it can be an accident)

 

here is my prediction about the semifinals

 

55: Azizli vs Tsurtsumia

63: Maryanyan vs Ota

72: Mnat-lucky-ian vs Mantsigov

82: Gobadze vs Abdevali

Just checked the schedule, 130kg is indeed day after tomorrow with draw taking place tomorrow. I checked the Arena website for the draw. Over there they have listed just these 4 athletes in 130kg in Bracket, Entry List, Ranking and even in Participants Table. 

 

Sorry for the alarm.

Just to make sure I get it right, semi finals today start at 14:00 CET? Watching all these different sports is confusing, I just now realized there's no finals at all today
