I just think of it now, but who has the final authority to accept the quota? The NZL wrestling federation or their NOC? 


I checked the Facebook page of NZ wrestling and there are no updates. You'd think they would go crazy if Miller was in. :p

I remember that famous Madagascar vs Sierra Leone lucky semifinal draw from London 2012 (in one of the women's categories). Hoping for something similar this time.

Had a busy day today at work (holidays in Iran are different than yours ) and could not watch most of the matches, I could catch some quarterfinals and then the stream stopped working for the semies

Robert Baran ?  I don't consider him a top favorite but he has his chance , this is a wide open competition in this weight, I give more chance to Asian wrestlers just because they are fresh

Lol. Well, some people already said that NZ standards are hypocritical. This confirms that.

 

Well New Zealand's standard, in general is that the athlete needs to show that they are capable of finishing in the top 16. For wrestling it's easy enough, just like how he qualified he can literally do nothing and reach the round of 16, should he get lucky enough with the draw.

wrestling ranking system is a bit different, you can lose in 2nd round but stll finish lower than someone who lost in 1st round. this guy will not finish in top 16 for sure. he is the weakest wrestler in this weight by a big margin.

True, but I wouldn't be surprised if New Zealand's Olympic Committee doesn't know that. Wrestling is almost non-existent in that country so I doubt there are many experts outside of the wrestling federation, which would prefer to have him compete in order to increase exposure for the country.

Both NZ Olympic committee and wrestling federation still didn't say anything about Craig Miller going to Rio. I very much doubt they accepted it.

Apparently they've accepted the quota. I can't believe why the NZOC accepted it, very hypocritical. Yet they've declined two sailors, a swimmer and a fencer. Epic fail, and he won't last long. In saying that, pretty disappointed in the Australian wrestler for failing a drugs test. Just shows that cheats don't prosper.

Seems hypocritical indeed. Why even have qualification criterias if yuo are going to accept a wrestler who didn't score a single win in QT...

 

But when I think about it, I think they accepted him because he lost to doped athlete.

      This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.

      Athing Mu competed in the USA trials in 2024 and 2025 post the 2023 rule changes. She also won Gold in 2022 and Bronze in 2023.    Jelimo the jury is out. She doesn’t look male like the other two do.

      People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.

      yes, there are (or there was, at least) don't forget that the women's 800m had world and olympic champions like Semenya, Jelimo and Nyonsaba...basically, it was 10 years of DSD winners only the same Athing Mu was suspected to be DSD (never confirmed, but somehow she totally disappeared after Tokyo) then, there were the 2 girls from Namibia (1 won a medal over 200m in Tokyo) in Italy we have the living scandal Valentina Petrillo (a paralympian!!!), who's actually a real man not to mention the weightlifter from who took part into the Tokyo Games so, it's a real problem all around the globe, not just a US crusade against a few woke idiots
