MHSN 3,230 Posted September 23, 2023 #291 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) 26 minutes ago, Roamingrover86 said: Great opportunity for us in 60 Kg , we have a decent wrestler at 60 as well. Only wrestler is probably better than ours . If we land a good draw we could have this quota. interestingly even after removing top 5, I think Asia is still tough in this weight the Korean is good but I believe you have to be more worried about the Kazakh guy. and we also have North Korea if they decide to participate. I think those 2 Asian quotas will be between KAZ/IND/KOR and PRK Edited September 23, 2023 by MHSN Roamingrover86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his gold medal will make a page in l'Equipe (the largest sports magazine in France), but it will be the only media coverage for him. I myself admit to having learned of Ibrahim Ghanem's existence yesterday. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjunior 10 Posted September 24, 2023 #294 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Yesterday, the French guy broke Fritsch's fingers twice. The first time he did an action. He was constantly apologizing for his series of fouls. No consequences. They never sent him down and he did nothing. No comment.

Bulgaria87 32 Posted September 24, 2023 #296 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Finally Bulgaria with a quota from the Championship, won by Semen Novikov in Men's Greco-Roman 87kg. However performance from Bulgarian team was below expectations. We won 3 bronze medals (2 in Non-Olympic categories). I truly hope our wrestlers will take their lessons and come stronger in last two Olympic qualifications. avlar and Adriano 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote that Semen Novikov worth to have attention He is one of the most talanted Ukrainian wrestler of this generation, but his problem was the same category with Zhan Belenyuk. Novikov wanted to wrestle in Tokio for Ukraine, but Belenyuk was selected (and he proved the choice was excellent - with his Olympic gold). Semen did not take it easy and leaved Ukraine for Bulgaria. Now you have a brilliant wrestler who will definitely will be a medal contender in Paris. Hope they both will win medals - Belenyuk and Novikov.

MHSN 3,230 Posted September 24, 2023 #298 Share Posted September 24, 2023 last day quotas 67: 87: Azerbaijan won the team title and Iran once again finished 2nd, same as freestyle I was expecting more medals with better color but 1 G, 1 S, 3 B plus 4 Olympic quotas is not a bad result at all. that's even one more than last time in 2019 avlar and Roamingrover86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got zero "quotas" in GR and WW. And these results came just after the strange explanations from UWW on participation of russian wrestlers here. At the same time russain government announced that they will definitely pay compensation (up to 500 000 RUR) fro those who will miss the Games and they doubt they will pay somenting to those who will go to the games under the white flag. So the question: their result is a matter of quliaty or a matter of motivation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were unbelievably bad, they ended up with just 1 bronze in a non-Olympic weight. half of them were unknown to me and those famous wrestlers also failed badly. their best chance Sargsian broke his hand in his first match against the eventual gold medalist from Cuba. some of their biggest names like Evloev and Vlasov didn't participate but I think in general they are just getting weak. we rarely even heard anything about their Greco team before the competition. it was all about freestyle. avlar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
