Dnl 674 Posted January 23 #22 Share Posted January 23 7 hours ago, MHSN said: more Russian wrestlers are switching NOC in Olympic year Razambek Zhamalov moved to Uzbekistan and Viktor Rassadin will represent Tajikistan from now on. they are both very good and specially Zhamalov can be a legit medal contender in Paris. you didn't hear much from him because he lost close matches to World/Olympic Champion Sidakov but he is almost as good as Sidakov. 74kg qualifiers in Asia looked easy at first but now it's a completely different thing. with Tsabalov, Salkazanov, Kadimagomedov and couple more. 74kg is more like Russian National Champs. I also can name Shikhjamalov, Kurmagomedov, Shapiev, Asluev, Budazhapov ,,, and there are probably more names Is there any place where you could find the list of those who switch NOC?

At least, not in GR. Sure, they arent among top nations but cant compare them with Albania or Bahrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are right. my comment was mostly refereeing to the freestyle wrestling. and to be honest I added Tuskaev later to that list. he wasn't in the list when I wrote the leading line I should had edited that line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Micic is a Serb, living in USA, Tuskaev is just another naturalised wrestler. Not that i am fan of this process but freestyle was always bad in Serbia. After Tsabolov and Micic there are many domicile wrestlers trying to do FS only. At least something good turned iut from this.

MHSN 3,333 Posted February 16 #28 Share Posted February 16 According to UWW calendar we will have a World Championship this year for non-Olympic weights. Albania will host it right after the World U23 Championship also Zagreb in Croatia will host the 2025 World Champs Croatia is OK but Albania can be troublesome. last year they didn't let our team participate at World U23 and UWW rewarded them with another competition I understand that nobody wanted to host this non-Olympic weights World Champs and UWW had to settle for this terrible option but I hope no problem this time.

UWW are so desperate for money, that i'm surprised they are not doing a full-fledged Worlds... They just can't pass a single year can't they. Who would care about these non-Olympic weights, especially after Paris.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just can't pass a single year can't they. Who would care about these non-Olympic weights, especially after Paris.. we do care, we even had our trials (parts of it) for non-Olympic weights already. some of our good (but not great) wrestlers decided to stay in their non-Olympic weights rather than moving up or down to Olympic weights (would be a desperate try most probably) and Albania becoming the host was a terrible and worrying news for them. and non-Olympic weights started to exist since 2016. that year UWW had a WCh only for those weights. 2021 was a special case because of COVID. they already signed the contract with Norway. My point is they never plan a full-fledged Worlds in the Olympic year. with only 6 weights in the Olympics and limited number of quotas (thanks to IOC) lots of good wrestlers will miss the Olympics. a World Championship in non-Olympic weights is just the right thing to do. of course it's hard to find a host for that. pedja789 and Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
