:USA David Taylor surprisingly came out of retirement :yikes: to try his chance in US trials at 92kg for 2024 World Championships (non-Olympic weights) this weekend

 

there are some rumors that the great Abdulrashid Sadulev also wants to try his chance at 92kg to add another world title to his resume, personally I think that's not correct but we will see.

 

but if this is true and if Taylor wins the US trials and again if Albania don't act shit like last year it will be a hell of a competition between Taylor, Sadulaev and Ghasempour. :hyper: much more interesting than anything we saw in Paris.

 

ps: the great Jordan Burroughs will wrestle in US trials too, probably for his last hurrah

with the next Olympics being in LA, I'm not that surprised that the US guys suddenly make up their mind about retirement (maybe announced a bit too early)

:IRI Hassan Yazdani after his shoulder surgery in France yesterday
(he had another shoulder surgery last year which wasn't great and we saw what happened in the Olympic final :cry:)

 

 

most people thought the Olympic final was the last match of his career but that's not his plan. he still wants to come back to win that 2nd Olympic gold after losing two Olympic finals in 2021 and 2024  in dramatic ways :cry:

 

even if everything goes well he will be out for 2025 season and will come back to the mat in 2026. he won World/Olympic medals from 2015 to 2024 and this means his 10-year streak will be broken :(

UWW changes few things for Russian/Belarus wrestlers

 

https://uww.org/article/uww-updates-eligibility-criteria-russia-belarus-wrestlers

 

I assume with the new criteria almost all (if not all) of them will be eligible for UWW competitions. I'm talking about top Russian wrestlers.

 

which means we will most probably see Sadulaev in Albania next month. :hyper: Uguev too, from what I heard he has to wrestle AbbasGadzhi Magomedov first to make the team.

Sadulaev and Uguev took part in pro-war rally. if it's not "public declarations [in written or orally] in support of the war", then what should it be?

Bring back the 1991 borders

You mean the rally when Rylov and Bolshunov were there, for example?

preliminary entry list for the World Championships (non-Olympic weights) 2024

 

https://uww.org/article/world-championships-non-olympic-weights-2024-entries

 

Abdulrashid Sadulaev won the Russian trials yesterday (he didn't look good though) and therefore his name is here, as well as another Olympic Champion Zaur Uguev. with David Taylor, Jordan Burroughs and Reza Geraei we have at least 5 Olympic Champions in the list :yes

 

also interesting to see lots of guys (Berdimuratov, Ganbaatar, Tsakulov, Kaipanov etc) cut weight massively from their usual Olympic weight to wrestle here.  which shows the importance of a World Championship title 

 

ps: 2024 Olympians are not allowed to wrestle here.

UWW's new rules for change of nationality

 

this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more. 

 

still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1. 

 

some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament.


I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too
.

also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.

 

it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. :yes

    • When it comes to power, confidence and match-winning ability, women's cricket has produced some truly fearless batsmen over the years. These players didn't just score runs - they changed games, calmed crowds and intimidated bowlers. Based on influence, consistency and ability to dominate attacks, here is my 2026 Forum list of the top 7 most dangerous women batsmen in cricket history.   At the top, Meg Lanning stands out for her quiet aggression and leadership. She could control an innings and then suddenly explode. Behind her is Harmanpreet Kaur, known for her raw power and clutch performances, especially in big tournaments.   Ellyse Perry deserves a special mention. Her technique, fitness and ability to increase pace make her lethal in all formats. Smriti Mandhana brings purpose with grandeur - once she gets going, bowlers struggle to find answers.   From a bygone era, Mithali Raj may not have looked aggressive, but her mental strength and ability to bat for long periods make her extremely dangerous. Suzy Bats has become a nightmare for bowlers in ODIs and T20s, as she mixes timing and smart shot selection. The list also includes Deandra Dottin, whose power-hitting can change a match in just a few overs.   What connects all these stars is their fearless mentality. Each has earned the tag of Dangerous Women's Batsman by performing consistently under pressure and against the best bowlers in the world. For fans who love in-depth cricket discussions, statistics and trending topics, Cricbites is becoming a popular platform to explore women's cricket in a fresh and engaging way.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.

    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off   
    • 66% chance for a medal in moguls seems low though...   Men's relay being 5th in short track, and Clarke only having a 0.5% chance at a medal also seem off   Why is ski mountaineering there, we didn't even qualify anyone
