IOC bars Russian freestyle wrestler and two-time Olympic champion Abdulrashid Sadulaev from participating in Olympic qualificaiton. Sadulaev participated in rallies in support of Russian aggression against Ukraine.

It's being reported this was a UWW decision and not the IOC

How it looks right now: UWW supported Sadulaev and allowed him to compete, but the IOC ruled out that he is ineligible for the Olympics.

After that UWW panel quickly "found new information about his support of the Ukraine-Russia war and that he is still officially declared a member of the Dynamo club" and banned him. This quick ban allowed russians substitute him.

 

The draw is available!

do you know if the :FRA have a chance of qualifying?

Frankly i don't see it happening. There are just too many good wrestlers on both sides of the draw. 

 

The best chances are probably Magamadov at FS 86 kg and Lecarpentier at WW 76 kg.

As @Josh said it's not in order which is fine just to give us idea of top wrestler.

 

Even if he put her at the end in order he would be right. Andreaa Ana is a 3 time European Champion in 55kg, not 53kg. Can't see her qualifying for the games though.

You're smart as always and, yes, it's a huge difference between 55 and 53 kg that could bring the world upside down.

 

Could've told us WHY you don't see her qualifying for Olympics (btw, she made it 4 years ago, at 20 yo); it's obvious you know the insights of WW like your own pocket

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
