MHSN 3,437 Posted October 12, 2018 #1641 Share Posted October 12, 2018 where I can find the Olympic channel schedule ? I want to know if there is TV coverage for wrestling or not .I was counting on UWW but it seems unlike all other tournaments UWW won't have a live feed. probably because here the organizer is the IOC.

mrv86 3,069 Posted October 12, 2018 #1642 Share Posted October 12, 2018 No medals today for Mexico, but some good results. In swimming, we have another finalist (CAC Games Champion in women's 100m butterfly) and two other semifinalists. Plus our competitor in men's 400m finished in provisional 1st place Let's hope tomorrow will see more encouraging results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zare will be huge favorite for the gold even against Russia. but Karimi will be underdog against Azerbaijan. Yea I was surprised at some of the groups. Our only male athlete got Micronesia and Algeria, while the other group has Uzbekistan and Russia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like every sport at the Youth Olympics has some sort of dumb rule(s). Btw, do you think our male athlete in 80 kg can top his group?

Of course, anything else will be a huge surprise and btw your wrestler is a world bronze medalist. he even has a chance for the gold intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
