Disaster, complete disaster, how can there be a this huge difference between last year and this year :cry:

 

Yasemin Adar who was the two-years ago champion and last year runner-up is eliminated in the first match. 

 

Our grekoromen team was a complete disaster. Huge disappointment

So we would finally have a female with 2  world wrestling champions medals  in the form of Pooja Dhanda, still won't be that great bcoz it's non Olympic category. The trials were never required in 57kg i believe, even if she lost to Sarita it was because they know each others moves well. But Pooja has a lot of experience.

I don't think Pooja winning gold is a given. She is amazing in attack but her defence is too suspect. (A bit like the young Bajrang). She can defeat any opponent and lose to any. So, even with Pooja instead of Sarita in 57kg, with the kind of draw (Nichita, Bullen and Kawai in the same quarter), there wouldn't have been much difference. 

 

For today's quotas, Kiran still has a very small chance. Rotter Focken is through to semis but Gray is an amazing wrestler and if Focken can upset her, Kiran will get a chance in repechage.

Mostly because they are being used to keep gender numbers more balanced. Don't worry, mixed artistic duet will be here soon enough. :p

 

 

yeah, when our great Giorgio Minisini (by far the best male in the sport right now) will be gone...:facepalm::wall:

And it very much looks like a historic (but outdated) discipline. Maybe in 1920s Greco-Roman bouts were interesting, but today most matches are decided by often eyebrow-raising cautions and advantages given...

 

only because they adopt freaking wrong rules (and because of biased -if not corrupted- refs and officials)...

with the rules they were using until 20 years ago, Greco-Roman wrestling was a lot more spectacular and offensive-minded...

then someone started to say that it was not so "accasional viewer friendly" and they started to change the rules year after year...and always going in the wrong direction, giving refs too many responsibilities and chances to heavily influence the final outcome of every single bout...

 

p.s. and it's not my/our fault if most people nowadays have the attention span of a hamster and/or can't appreciate a sport for what it is...:facepalm:

At least Pooja would have been in the repechage losing to Kawai. 

Kiran did well but Gray is a great athlete

    • I think the biggest problem for Australian football is how big the roster size is.   Rugby League Nines might be a more realistic "out there" selection.
    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)
