another terrible day for Venezuela, they won't qualify a wrestler for Tokyo. Mejias at 57kg despite dominating most of the match lost because of a trapped arm and gave up something like 10pts in one action ! and Diaz got injured in his 2nd match and was very weak in his last group match vs Steen, even though I think Steen still could beat him even if he wasn't injured.

 

we were expecting 2 big matches today, both CUB/USA . one of them happened at 57kg with Gilman narrowly beating Andreu. waiting for Taylor vs Cuba. again USA is huge favorite. other American wrestlers will qualify easily, if Taylor qualifies they will have a full team in men's freestyle

Who are your picks for quotas?

Thanks, I am really anxious to see that now  

 

our friend had wrestled at the Pan American Championship few days ago , it was round robin with 5 wrestlers, which means you can watch him 4 times even though the total time is still less than one wrestling match

 

he is not facing Jordan Burroughs or Rashid Saulaev , his opponents are also not that good but everything he does is 100% wrong he is not just "weak" he doesn't even know a thing about wrestling, I really think he doesn't know he should not be in on his back

Argentina!

[MHSN 3,813]

wow ! wow what a win for Argentina.

 

it seems you really can't be 100% sure about anything in sports

 

Retherford really underestimated his opponent , made a dumb mistake and the Argentinian used his chance, probably his only chance in that match. what a pleasant surprise

Peruvian literally walked up and took his quota.

[MHSN 3,813]

free quota for Peru as expected, Artur didn't even show up. he was just there to ruin Baez's chance but I guess Argentina doesn't care anymore.
