The draw isn't that bad for us today. If we can manage one-two semifinalists for tonight i will take it.

How's Miglena Selishka doing lately?

Thanks!

He would be a favorite, i think.

Other Greek was also great.

Not in her best form in the last year or so. Wouldn't fancy her to make the final.

:ITA with 4 guys in the medal matches :yikes:

I think it has never happened before, especially in freestyle wrestling.

however, 2 of them already lost their bronze medal match, even if I think the final seconds of Piroddu's match were at least controversial...he surely deserved more than he finally got (a bitter 5th place).

Chamizo simply can't score against Salkazanov even if they wrestle 10 more times, he just needs one big mistake from the Russian to throw him . that's the only way he can score and Salkazanov is well aware of that.

time for :ITA to hire a Russian coach? :mumble:

the current staff doesn't look the best in the world, I fear (despite the historical number of guys wrestling in the final block)... :nopompom:

Russian coaches are great in finding solutions like this. I mean Jordan Burroughs was unbeatable for years until they solved the puzzle in Rio. we usually blame our coaches for not being good enough in term of finding the best tactics. Salkazanov is physically tough, Chamizo simply couldnt get through his hands. he usually relies on his big throws but big throws happen when your opponent makes a mistake and Salkazanov doesn't. he wrestled Frank so many times.

but Chamizo is Chamizo, he is unique in his own way, I don't think you can adjust any tactic on him. it's also about matchups. for example I think our 74kg guy (assuming Emami wins our 74kg trial) will do better against Salkazanov, I really don't want him in Chamizo's side of draw during the Worlds/Olympics.

Italian coaches didn't look experienced to me, Piroddu could win the bronze (or even going to the final) with a better plan. Conyedo also could do better against the Georgian/Azeri.
