US-Mexican wrestlers and 2024 Olympians, Roman Bravo Young and Austin Klee Gomez, won bronze medals in -57kg & -70kg freetyle respectively, at Zagreb ranking series this week.

 

Can't remember of another medal in an international event, other than Jr or U23 World Championships, for Mexican wrestlers, so this is good news.

that was just OK, some good results mixed with some disappointing results. 

 

our top wrestlers (2024 Olympic/World medalists) were exempt here but still it was an important part of our trials for the 2025 World Championships and this tournament made it clear that we are weak in certain weights.

 

our trial system is so complicated, something like rocket science , very hard to understand

After the enormous and sorrowful Olympic experience Tajmuraz is back. 

 

He took almost half year of break from wrestling, he was really suoer devastated after Paris, but thanks god his love for the sport was at the end too strong and he decided to return back to the mat, and just won in Zagreb

fixed, however

it took two Olympics (and 4 years) for UWW to finally realize there is a big big flaw in their current rules (we have this since early 2021)

 

in Greco-Roman, in high level specially in heavier weights it's just hard to score. in this case sometimes the match ends up 1-1. (1 pt for passivity caution for each) under current rules lots of wrestlers decide to be intentionally passive in first 2 minutes to receive the first caution. this created lots of ugly scenes in Olympics. for example  Yasmani Acosta won an Olympic silver in Paris without doing a thing! he was passive in his 3 pre-final matches and won all of them 1-1 

 

UWW will test a new rule at the European Championship next week, only in case of 1-1 and only in Greco-Roman whoever gets the first point wins. I believe this will become an official rule soon, they should make this change long time ago but yet late is better than never
