[intoronto 6,409]

I just realized the wrestler beat the wrestler from  (the one who won a medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games without winning a single match 

[MHSN 3,777]

that was the most dramatic match of evening so far, 4-4 win and quota for Australia 

 

but I kind of feel sad for the Nigerian guy with that long surname, he surely has the natural talent , just doesn't know how to score. lack of international experience

With the quota today Samoa will have a squad of over 20 for the first time.

 

16 already qualified+ 2 swimming+ 1 athletics + 2 weightlifting. Could be a few more 

[MHSN 3,777]

@thepharoah you won another quota in 97kg , by a 15-3 win or somethingl ike that

 

but it could end up disastrously for El Ders, he got stuck on his own gut wrench and almost got pinned

There's a good chance Samoa may not be eligible for a tripartite quota next Olympics. Team sport quotas don't count, but individual wise they are up to four and along with the five quotas you listed, they will also likely get a spot in judo and maybe in taekwondo.

 

With that said, they haven't made use of tripartite quotas in a long time so it's not a big loss.

won a quota in men's -97kg, we are up to 11 nations with a quota. will have a chance in the -125kg, but Egypt will be the heavy favourite.

[MHSN 3,777]

so this is it, a last minute takedown gave the last quota to Egypt by a 3-3 win

 

here is the summary of qualified NOCs

 

57kg: 

65kg: 

74kg: 

86kg: 

97kg: 

125kg:

So egypt dominates at home , results will be different if the host was neutral

Just in case there was any doubt about  accepting their quota.
