Nikoloz, on the other hand, just destroyed Omarov in their QTFs match-up...he took advantage of an early passivity of the Russian-born Czech and then he rolled him around to score 8 more points and quickly close the bout... now, I don't think Russo would go further, but I hope Nikoloz can beat also the true Russian in the semifinals and get a chance to face the great Aleksanyan in the big final...

Gianlu33 3,574 Posted February 11, 2020 #13 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I'm very impressed by Ciro Russo, finally our wrestling give some sign of life... I'm very hyped for Freni's medal match, I remember him at cadet/juniors events and he wasn't so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianlu33 3,574 Posted February 11, 2020 #14 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Kakhelashvili qualified for the final Let's hope that Lamorgese will do something of smart, I think that Kakhelashvili deserve the Italian passport... AlFHg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,221 Posted February 11, 2020 #15 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) seeded athletes for the European Qualifiers after 1st day in Olympic weights, remember only top 2 will be seeded but if any of them doesn't participate they go to the 3rd guy in the ranking and so on 77kg: #1 Pavel Liakh #2 Sanan Suleymanov #3 Paulius Galkinas #4 Roman Vlasov #5 Volodimyr Yakovliev I'm almost sure Likah and Galkinas will participate, so Roman Vlasov most probably won't be seeded. I think nobody wants him in his bracket. 87kg: #1 Ivan Huklek #2 Aleksanr Komarov #3 Islam Abbasov #4 Metehan Basar #5 Eividas Stankevicius 130kg: #1 Alin Alexuc-Ciurariu #2 Mykola Kuchmii #3 Arvi Savolainen #4 Zurabi Gedekhauri #5 Beka Kandelaki Except the Romanian guy being #1, I'm not sure if the rest participate ! but Kuchmii is likely to participate and take the 2nd seed.

MHSN 3,221 Posted February 14, 2020 #18 Share Posted February 14, 2020 it seems I'm the only person interested in European Championship so let me talk to myself once more I'm sure most users here don't know Ibrahim Bolukbasi, because he never won anything big but this guy was always a tricky wrestler and today he almost pinned the great Sadullaev. he had the lock and only the great Rashid could survive that. I admire Sadullaev and consider him the best wrestler in the world right now and one of the best wrestlers in history but I would love to see someone beating him in freestyle wrestling when you lock head and one of the legs that's impossible to escape. but Rashid did the impossible. nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,140 Posted February 14, 2020 Author #19 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I'm watching here and there, just don't have time to comment regularly. Everyone is looking towards the OQT, these Euros feel not like a big tournament. It doesn't help that there are 30 people in the hall for the medal matches... Standard performance by our teams, though i expected more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say that the empty hall is really depressing, but still we've seen quite a few decent and entertaining bouts, despite most big names are not competing... p.s. just noticing the difference between a wrestling Nation like KAZ and ITA... look at the draw in the men's freestyle -74kg...Chamizo vs Demirtas and then the winner against Gadzhiyev... or the -57kg always in freestyle: Davidovi vs Dukov and then the Romanian against Atli... in certain Countries (KAZ is only one of them) it would have never happened...
