Expert, I need help. If you were to name 3-4 athletes who had the biggest chance to win gold in Rio, who would you name? The only one I can think of is Abdulrashid Sadulaev who is apparently destroying the field in his class  

[phelps 7,801]

Women's -48kg

Emilia Alina VUC (ROM) and Elitsa Atanasova YANKOVA (BUL) are the 2 qualified wrestlers...

 

Women's -53kg

Katarzyna KRAWCZYK (POL) and Nina HEMMER (GER) are the 2 qualified wrestlers...

him, Jordan Burroughs, maybe Mijain Lopez (unless he sells his soul once again to Turkey as he did twice before) and maybe Taha Akgul, beside that there is no clear favorite for gold in other weights and I'm only talking about men's wrestling.

Thank you sir 

 

I just remembered about the two Japanese women as well, Kaori Icho and Saori Yoshida. Even though Icho had her first loss in 13 years this year, I suppose they're still the major favorites again.

I hope Frank Chamizo can also storm through his rivals as he did last year in Las Vegas...

I don't consider winning so many close matches as "storming" , he didn't dominate his opponents, mostly winning on last second points, he is just one of the favorites, not the top favorite, he had few losses recently.

Nope, it was acting from Etlinger, good call at the end

by saying that I would prefer Etlinger to win this one but that was the correct call
