well forget my previous post, :d based on some Iranian sources (who has informant in UWW) the new proposed weights classes are something like this for both freestyle and Greco-Roman (Olympic classes in bold)

 

59, 62, 65, 70, 75, 80, 86, 92, 100, 130

 

This one makes more sense but some countries like Iran and Japan are not satisfied by these daily crazy changes in the rules without asking others' opinion.

I wouldn't be happy either. There's no consistency.

Why not make 75 classes, each a kg difference from 55kg to 130kg. :p

With weigh-in on the morning of competition, when will draws take place? Same day or previous day, so before weigh-in? 

 

now I can answer this question, based on their proposal, the draw will take place the previous day

Iran finished the 1st day of Asian Greco-Roman Championships with 3 golds and a bronze in 5 weights. not a bad start considering the fact some of these wrestlers are pretty new to international competition and we are in rebuilding phase. our whole team in the Olympics just retired (or at least took a year off)

 

interesting fact that out of 10 finalists in 1st day, they were all from 3 countries, Iran, Korea and Kazakhstan ! great for Korea since most of their wrestlers are new. while Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and China are bringing almost their A team here.

 

I was more impressed by our 98kg guy Salehizadeh, he beat 3 "good wrestlers" before the final.

After a disastrous 1st day, Japan just dominated the 2nd day. perfect for them, they are in all 5 finals. :hyper: 3 Greco and 2 women

 

Iran also qualified 2 more to the finals and with Abdevali in bronze medal match, they already secured the team title. both Korea and Kazakhstan didn't shine today.

 

Asian Champs is not usually a high level tournament (comparing to Asian Games) but I see this year most countries take it serious, so many Olympians are wrestling here. I'm glad with our results here, this is not our complete A team, because of the Islamic Solidarity Games they are sending half of the A team to Baku. half of them are here and for example our 75kg guy is #4 in Iran .

 

from what I see the officiating was also very good (at least not biased) even the host nation India didn't benefit from the calls. :yes

After a very bad 1st day, Iran qualified 3 wrestlers to the final today to secure the team freestyle title one more time. I believe all 3 of them will be strong favorites for the gold later today. and if Rashidi wins the bronze it means none of our freestyle wrestlers will return home without a medal.

 

except one wrestler this is completely our B team while almost all other countries send their top wrestlers here, I guess our results were OK in general. but I was expecting more from some of them. Atri and Nassiri were disappointing.

István Lévai received today a four-year ban from Slovak Anti doping Agency. Very likely this will be the end of his career (4 times medalist from European Championships including gold in Belgrade 2012 and bronze at European Games in Baku)...also possibly the definitive end for our wrestling.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
