The Cuban guy apparently do not want to finish the match. controversy there

[MHSN 3,777]

The call was indeed controversial , but I have to say the whole officiating was terrible , the rules are not clear and this creates controversy

 

First the center referee should not stop the match while the American still had the leg and was attacking , that was a mistake in first place. with that stop they "had" to give that 1point and caution to the Cuban which could win the match for him. but they probably gave that 2 pts to Cox to make up for that early mistake. terrible terrible officiating.

 

btw Cox somehow got robbed in semifinal against the naturalized Russian wrestler (representing Turkey) they had to make up for that.

Petriashvili made it quick and Akgül might be doing the same as last year.

I'm not a wrestling expert, anyone know if Frank Chamizo have a good schance for win a medal? In Italy all media are ottimist but i think that they aren't the best for the wrestling news

He is the defending world champion, so with similar form, sure why not ?

He has a very bad draw, he can lose in 1st round and not go to repechage, but he can also win the tournament.

So, we can only hope that Chamizo will have a good day

He has quite strong Armenian wrestler (former world champion) in the 1/8 then in semifinal he can meet the winner of Gadziyev (Poland) vs Toghrul (Azerbaijan, Chamizo beat him in the semifinal of last WC).So, yes, hard draw. But, of course, i hope he wont be Olympic champion, since we have our own sportsmen in this category

Actually he has a good draw, the bottom half is much tougher, the Armenian is indeed a former world champion but he didn't even qualify for Rio. he was lucky to get invited because of that Meldonium case. his 2nd opponent will be probably easy for him. he has a tough semifinal against either Asgarov or Gadzhiev.
