Wrestling UWW World Championships 2019

à l’instant, MHSN a dit :

2nd day of freestyle

 

74

1) looks very easy for Chamizo, the only who can challenge him is the Kazakh guy. who will most probably qualify through repechage.

2) Kentchadze is the clear favorite but it won't be very easy for him, we have Khadjiev, Nedealco, and 2 more from UKR and ARM. but they have to beat Kentchandze because there is no repechage because of Chamizo in the semifinal.

3) very very easy for Sidakov, and if he manages to beat Burroughs (or anybody else) in the semifinal. one of these guys will be in the Olympics ! it's hard to pick any of them. bunch of mediocre wrestlers. Ireally had hard time to pick any of them. I go with Japan even though I don't know this guy. only because their main wrestler is a good one and if this guy beats Fujinami he is probably good too.

4) as usual 15 wrestlers in this quarter, so many candidates, but of course the main candidate is Jordan Burroughs. I think Abdurakhmanov is the next best guy in this quarter, we also have Demirtas and the Azerbaijani wrestler, and again Gomez, Nurikov, a Russian from Hungary. plus 2 grandpa coming back after a big while, Garzon of Cuba and of course Sushil Kumar !!! and I don't even mention our wrestler, he is the worst.

 

my picks:

 

125

1) this is funny, Geno is already in the semifinal no doubt, but there are 6 other below average wrestlers here and one of them will go to the Olympics when Geno wins the semifinal. I don't know these guys and had to search about them. I think this is the best possible chance for all of them. the Syrian guy is actually from Russia (with Syrian heritage) I don't know anything about him but he is Russia after all !

2) this is probably the toughest "quarter" because if we consider Geno and Akgul as tier 1, we have 5 Tier 2 wrestlers here. and only one of them will go to the Olympics because the winner will lose to Geno. both Iran and Russia have last minute replacements here, I assume they are not in the best possible shape, to me it will be between UKR or USA. but of course all of those 5 guys stand a good chance.

3) piece of cake for Taha, and most probably a quota for Ligeti. maybe only the Indian guy Sumit has something like 10% chance to upset Ligeti. this one was easy to predict.

4) Ding is the 2nd seed and world silver medalist but I still I can't consider him the favorite, we have Magomedov here, I also don't know about his shape. I expect Ding and Magomedov to face in the QF but that's not a sure thing. one thing is guaranteed, only one wrestler will qualify from this quarter.

 

my picks:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I assume people are less interested in non-Olympic weights but finally we have someone with a very easy draw yayyy I think we will have semifinalists in both of these non-Olympic weights. not just because they were lucky. they were also better wrestlers comparing to our team members in "olympic weights"

Any luck with French Zelimkhan Khadjiev to go to the Olympic ?

So what's the deal with non-Olympic weight classes? Could you qualify a quota in an Olympic weight class, and then have a wrestler from another weight class lose/gain weight to take the quota?

Quota places are allocated to NOC not wrestlers. NOC can win only one quota in each weight class. Wrestler can win only one quota across all weight classes.

he has a chance but he has to win his first match vs Kentchandze. won't be easy at all. or if he loses he can pray for Kentchadze to upsets Chamizo in the semifinal.

I think Khadjiev's chance isn't higher than 10%. but I know he is a tricky wrestler.
