Disappointing first day for Iran with only 2 bronze medals, Emami at 60kg could win the gold medal he lost narrowly to the gold medalist

 

btw this American kid "Hall" at 74 is amazing, I expect to win few World/Olympic medals very soon.

USA and Russia completely dominated the world juniors in freestyle and won 7 out of 8 gold medals ! most (if not all) of our wrestlers lost to Russia and USA and we ended up with 1 silver and 3 bronze and 3rd place overall. a very disappointing result but have to admit that was just fair, USA had a fantastic team this year and they really deserved the team title. we were 0-5 against USA this team, terrible terrible and against Russia we had just one win at the repechage, most of our wrestlers got dominated against Russian or American wrestlers !

 

I don't know it was just one year or these countries are getting stronger but USA and Russia were way stronger than the rest this year. they mostly teched their opponents. for Russia that's not surprising but I never saw American wrestlers dominating like this.

here we go, major major changes in wrestling once again, now official

 

https://unitedworldwrestling.org/article/new-weight-categories-2018-host-cities-among-wrestlings-bureau-announcements

 

* now we will have 10 weight classes ! but they didn't change it that much as it was supposed to, they just added few more !

* the competition will be held on 2 days, with 2kg allowance for the 2nd day, but that allowance is only for 1 year, from 2019 there will be no allowance for the 2nd day !

* forced parterre is back again in Greco-Roman (which is a good thing ) but only limited !

* cautions are 1 point now,

* no big change in Olympic qualification format . they will NOT use a ranking system, almost the same as before but only this time with less quotas available.
