I'm very surprised with Turkey's entry, this guy was terrible so far, not sure why they are sending him! Venckaitis and Kajaia are favorite "on paper" but they are simply not good enough. Venckaitis had a dream run at Worlds but lost 3 matches and finished 6th and Kajaia is too old. even the Netherlands has a chance for quota here, or maybe Austria. it's really hard for me to pick one but I try something new this time , I say Where can I sign for this? Cool to see there is actually some hope (I mean, probably he won't get it, but if you say the chance is there, I'll have hope). Brother Marcel Sterkenburg in 87kg is already out in the first round, so it'll have to be him If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Brother Marcel Sterkenburg in 87kg is already out in the first round, so it'll have to be him he wasn't impressive in his first match, just stole a lucky 1-1 win (I hate it whenever a match ends with the scoreline) but none of the guys in his half is better than him, probably not the favorite but he has a chance heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,597 Posted April 5 #54 Share Posted April 5 biggest upset of the day so far, Murtazaliev just lost to a guy from Germany of course it was a lucky 1-1 win but still Murtazaliev was great in Euro Champ but today he gassed early and couldn't score. Savolainen is also out. that opens the door for Kakhelashvili to maybe win a quota. Josh and Adriano 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,597 Posted April 5 #59 Share Posted April 5 so, that was an interesting session of wrestling. some surprises as expected, I think only 87kg went as planned. 60kg: vs / vs 67kg: vs / vs 77kg: vs / vs 87kg: vs / vs 97kg: vs / vs 130kg: vs / vs to me the there are only 2 very surprising semifinalists, Germany 97 and Finland 77. I can't remember if I ever seen this German guy before . I have to check his old results but I know nothing about him, he did great and he has a shot for the quota. I also have to say that the order of matches played a big role. Selcuk Can was dead tired after two very hard matches and Sylla simply manhandled him in the QF. or our flying Dutchman Sterkenburg was literally dead after two hard battles and had nothing in his tank for the 3rd match. phelps, Adriano and Josh 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
