well done UWW. by promoting someone like Heiki "doing nothing" Nabi they are inviting IOC to kick wrestling out of the Olympics.

 

another medal for him by doing absolutely nothing. this time it looked like everything was well planed by all 3 refs. Nabi had to do nothing which is his specialty

 

just for info the score was 8-0 but Nabi did no shit , all of them were cautions

True, man; metal contender is one thing, gold contender is totally other...

You keep your views to yourself. There is a way to express your views. Alina Vuc will never win an Olympic medal, I am 100% sure

Now that you really want to argue, here is a question for you :

How many wrestlers have been nominated for Laureus sports award in the last 5 years? Name Them

To be honest, Greco-Roman is probably on borrowed time, especially with the IOC pushing for gender equality.

That's true. but Greco-Roman is more popular in Europe. that's the only reason Greco-Roman is still in the Olympics. the number of participants is usually much more for Greco-Roman. more countries can win medal in GR. while freestyle is between ex-soviet countries and 4-5 more.

 

they are changing rules year by year to make GR "interesting" for non-wrestling community audience. but then they award medals to wrestlers like that guy for doing nothing. that doesn't encourage wrestlers to be more active. just be a very good defender and then you can count on your luck (or your influence on the refs) to win something.

The other option would be to kick men's freestyle and have men's Greco-Roman and women's freestyle, but I imagine the African and Pan American nations would be quite upset and I doubt the IOC would go that route.

 

To be honest the UWW did this to themselves, the push for gender equality has been very clear for a long time. You'd think they would have tried to organize women's Greco-Roman after the whole almost getting kicked out of the Olympics fiasco. Now that boxing is starting to move closer to gender equality (assuming it even stays in the Olympics) the target will no doubt move to wrestling.
