JoshMartini007 2,220 Posted March 15, 2020 #61 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Yeah the lower half of the -86kg was wide open given that they essentially put the top three guys in the top half. Huge opportunity for to grab a quota. Argentina looked the best in the first round, but Peru has yet to compete. konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,221 Posted March 15, 2020 #63 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Phulka had a huge opportunity to upset top seed former world medalist Gomez. Gomez was leading 9-0 but then ran out of gas and gave up lots of points still managed to win it 10-7. I think 30 more seconds was enough for Phulka to win it. if Gomez gets tried like this I won't be surprised if he loses his SF to Colombia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he even watched wrestling before he was the worst wrestler I ever seen the other wrestler is no better, I wonder if Barbados knew which sport is participating. but I believe quota is possible for Jamaica from that part, first time in wrestling maybe ? that guy is American and relatively good. will be interesting to see who between Argentina, Jamaica or Peru wins the quota. I was just going to ask you if it was a "naturalized" Jamaican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,221 Posted March 15, 2020 #65 Share Posted March 15, 2020 that looks like a free quota for Peru ! Arthur got injured seriously during his match vs Baez, he managed to finish the match which was very ugly but I highly doubt that knee will let him wrestle properly in the semifinal. Baez could beat him by DSQ if he had 20 or 30 more seconds left. maybe even 10 more seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,221 Posted March 15, 2020 #68 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Semifinals 57kg: Tigreros vs Oliveira Ramirez vs Gilman 65kg: Williams vs Valdes Retherford vs Destribats 74kg: Gomez vs Tafur Montero vs Garzon 86kg: Torreblanca vs Taylor Arthur vs Ambrocio 97kg: Salas vs Ramos Perez vs Steen 125kg: Dhesi vs Merrill Gwiazdowski vs Vivenes 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 Edited March 15, 2020 by MHSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think UWW usually uploads matches after a day or two. but specially that 74kg was amazing, he didn't know basic things about how to even stand on the mat, that 86kg didn't had enough time to "shine" he got pinned very quick but I think he was a bit better, at least not his first time on a mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
