So she lost right ?

yes. while she was "dominating" the match, she gave up lots of big throws and at the end lost by fall/pin in one of them. the score was 10-8 before the last action and she was attacking (and could score more than enough to win)

 

with a better tactic she could end the match 10-0

At least one new country is guaranteed in the 57 kg

Guinea Bissau is strong favorite for 57 and 74kg quotas. beside that I don't think so

[MHSN 3,777]

UWW is just great 

 

they are having 3rd place match for 76kg (and yesterday they had it for two weights)

 

because they have a different format when we have 6 or 7 wrestlers (two groups. crossover semifinals) but why it's different than other weights (no 3rd place match when we have 8 or more) ? I don't know

 

but OK I understand they are having this in case someone withdraws or fails a drug test. but there is one very funny point here. based on their own rules. when less than 8 wrestlers register, the quota won't be reallocated to the next wrestlers, it will become a wild card.  so what the hell is this 3rd place match about ?

quota matches in men's freestyle

 

57kg: vs / vs

65kg: vs / vs

74kg: vs / vs

86kg: vs / vs

97kg: vs / vs

125kg: vs / vs

 

all 3 GBS wrestlers made it to the SF and I think all 3 of them have a good chance to win.

really surprised by this Samoan wrestler, he beat Egypt 10-0!!

Actually I did expect the Samoan to win the quota. It's Gaku Akazawa and I was surprised when he lost in GR the other day to Australian, so I had asked as the Samoan is the Oceania champion in the weights in both GR and FS(had read a article like that about him).

 

 

But @thepharoah what's with Egypt Wrestling I'm sure I haven't seen them so low at Qualifiers losing so many with big margins.

 

Also  wrestlers beat  by fall very easily, not common in men's wrestling I believe.
