In categories where there are 2 people worthy of a chance in the minds of the coaches, both are getting a chance. They decided that the better ones will compete in Istanbul, because there are 3 tickets to Paris and a chance for a repechage in case of a loss, so there is less of a chance that a draw will hurt you. There are categories though, where there is one clear leader and he competes in both (Jezierzański). Some also needed more time to come back from injury (Kułynycz, Michalik) and Kościółek competed in freestyle in Baku and in greco-roman here Edited May 9 by Jakkaz MHSN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we see that they defend athletes from certain states only. I think it's a totally different situation. Israelis probably can go to Turkey but they asked for extra security, which is not mandatory, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly, Israeli security forces had intel about threats related to them coming to compete, so they requested security to ensure the safety of the athletes, which was not met, so it’s really a question of asking for extra security or ensuring the safety of athletes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,406 Posted May 9 #50 Share Posted May 9 (edited) my take on what happened so far we had lots of surprises as expected. but I'm mostly impressed with that Belarus kid at 130kg. he is a 97kg but has to wrestle here because they already won the 97kg quota. and boy he is World Junior and World U23 Champion for a reason, even against guys 20-30 kg heavier than himself. Nakazato of Japan also surprised me a lot. he beat 3 strong European wrestlers to give himself a chance. The Ukrainian at 97kg fought his heart out against the beast Sargsian, really unlucky to lose the match on criteria by bogus cautions. disastrous day for Hungary, Szoke was unlucky but Vancza and Levai simply didn't take advantage of their favorable draw. both Turkish wrestlers got eliminated early. terrible day for the host. CUB and EGY had 5 quotas already, their last wrestler lost here but still can have a repechage chance. so far AZE, RUS and GEO are doing better. they suffered defeats but they will be happy with 3 in the SF.
