Wrestling 2017 Discussion Thread

[Bearas 521]

If they are introducing 10 weights for women - why they need to cut it off on 76kg? Do at least  80kg  or 85kg. Those categories every 2kg is just ridiculous and hurting the level of respect for the sport of wrestling.

for tomorrow: Cadets world championships

[MHSN 3,626]

we have Cadet worlds in Greece this week. the most interesting thing about this event is that UWW is trying the new competition format here.

 

we still have the draw a day before the competition but unlike the current format, each day we have the weigh-in at the morning one hour before the competition and not at the same time with the draw !

each day we have the qualification rounds till the quarterfinal in morning session, semifinals wll be held on evening session (actually that's a good thing to give importance to the semifinals) in the next day we have the repechage round in the morning (alongside qualification rounds of the next events) and the finals in the evening (alongside the semis of the next evens)

 

there are some positive things here but I can't understand why they are not changing the format ?! with two-day competition we don't have to go a direct elimination format. or at least they can extend the repechage (not only for those who lost to the finalists) still the biggest problem is having weight-in in the morning and the next day morning, this will be unhealthy if someone cuts a lot of weight. the main reason for this change is to prevent wrestlers from cutting a lot of weight.

we have one quarter finalist , not bad

[MHSN 3,626]

During the World U23 Champs. Iran's best chance for the gold (Alireza Karimi. world senior bronze medalist) lost a match intentionally to avoid Israel in the next round. he was leading 3-2 againt a Russia wrestler (eventual gold medalist) but 90 seconds before the end he was told by his coaches to lose because the Israeli guy surprisingly beat the American wrestler on the other mat

 

that was hot topic in Iran in past few days, that was shameful and disgusting   if you watch the match coaches clearly and loudly tells him to lose "Ali you must lose" while he was confused, they threw the challenge cube to stop the match and explain him the situation.

 

now it made into the international media and UWW has no other option to take action here, I doubt they ban the Iranian wrestling since they need Iran but a long term suspension for this guy and his coach is quite possible now, even though they are both innocent in this.

I'm more surprised that competing against an American would apparently have been no problem, didn't know that.
