Nevertheless, Lithuania has finally selected Venckaitis to compete for Rio 2016. Hopefully, Kazakevič or a female would join him in the roster, but the competition seemed too tough for them, as the remaining Olympic slots are running out towards the second meet of the WOQT. Congrats to Venckaitis!

 

Btw, I thought Mindaugas Mizgaitis had competed in the 130 kg category. How come they chose Mantas Knystautas over him at the WOQT?

This was the tactics of federation as they had "even" competitors in some of the weights so some of them competed in Serbia last week and others compete here in Mongolia. Mizgaitis might get back in 2nd WOQT.

I hope he gets back in 2nd WOQT, and grab one of the two remaining Olympic spots. The competition gets even tougher, as some of medal hopefuls in his category are still aiming for the Olympic berth.

Some interesting facts about today

 

out of 18 qualified wrestlers, 12 from Europe, 6 Asia (including all 3 qualifiers in 130kg) . out of 12 European wrestlers only 4 of them had wrestled in Serbia last weekend.

disastrous day for Turkey , so far they have qualified only 1 Greco-Roman wrestler in Kayalp !

still no Greco-Roman quota for Poland !!! they used to be very good in this, the first Olympic I watched (1996) Poland topped the medal table in Greco-Roman !

still no quota for Croatia, they really deserved more than just 0 ! they have a good overall team (not just 1 or 2 good wrestlers)

if you check 2014 medalists, two of 2014 world champions are yet to qualify, our Sourian and Noumonvi of France.

Great day for China, they qualified two more , if their 66kg wrestler qualifies (who is good enough for that) they can have a full team in Rio !!!   China is new in men's wrestling, this is a great result for them.

 

here is the list of top countries with 4 or more quotas in Greco-Roman

Russia, Egypt 6

China, Cuba, Iran 5

Armenia, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Uzbekistan, Venezuela 4
