Nice to see that Popp won a quota place, but shocking to see that Thiele, Schellin, Niemesch, Kudla and Öhler werent able to do it. On the other hand i am glad that Öhler didnt do it, this means that Oliver Hassler still has a chance to qualify. I hope that Kudla/Azizsir, Öhler/Hassler, Matuhin, Niemesch, Schellin and Thiele will find a way to qualify. Only 2 qualified athletes is very disappointing for us. In the end we should have 8-10 qualified athletes.

I was very wrong with my predictions today only Zaseev and Popp.

 

very impressive results for Estonia, never been a fan of Nabi , but he really deserved his quota today. same goes to Arusaar.

 

Congrats to all qualified wrestlers, those who lost here have a very tough job to recover and go to Mongolia in less than a week. countries with depth (TUR, AZE etc) will replace them with someone else. I think Mongolian tourney is the best chance if anybody want to qualify, first because 3 will qualify and not 2. second because the field is probably weaker than next tournament in Turkey.

Any entry lists for the 1st Olympic qualifying tournament in Mongolia?

Oh well. We tried. It's not like wrestling is a big sport anyway. I thought Hanzlickova or Vala could make it though

Does anyone know how the 3rd qualifier will be determined in Mongolia?? Will there be an additional bout between the the two bronze medalists or will there be some other method ???
