What do the wrestling experts here say about the finals? I think Ota is a very surprising finalist here.

Does anyone who follows know why challenge wasn't allowed in Starčević's semifinal? It seemed very weird to me though I'm no expert.

He most definately is, but man did the guy beat some heavy contenders - Soryan, Kebispayev, Bayramov. I still think the cuban will win, but his run was unbeliavable, for a rather unknown like him.

Yep, the Cuban has just won but Japan will have some strong wrestlers in greco-roman too in Tokyo.

 

Iranians will probably be disappointed with Sourian but I've heard he had some problems and he was the last Iranian to qualify for Rio.

Yay, lost the bronze medal match... Our very good medal hope also finished 9th in shooting qualification today (because of stupid centers!!) + I have a big headache so I guess I'm calling it a night.

Mark O Madsen takes our first wrestling medal since 1948.

Finally he made it!
