CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY (July 9) -- United World Wrestling, following recent meldonium guidelines outlined by the International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency, has announced the reinstatement of National Olympic Committee qualification spots for the 2016 Olympic Games based on the performances of the following athletes:

Magomedmurat GADZHIEV (POL - FS 65kg)
Yanarbek KENZHEEV (KGZ - GR 85kg)
Sumiya ERDENCHIMEG (MGL - FW 53kg)
Andriy KZIATKOVSKY (UKR - FS 65kg)
Oksana HERHEL (UKR - FW 58kg)

Ukraine’s 125kg wrestler Alen ZASIEIEV -- the only other athlete peviously disqualified based on meldonium results – is not included in the above list as Ukraine qualified for an Olympic allocation during the 2nd World Qualifier in Istanbul.

All National Olympic Committees previously granted Olympic qualification spots will not be impacted by this adjustment.

UWW had 4 more quotas to use, and now they gave 5 ! does it mean we will have 345 wrestlers in Rio instead of 344 ? will IOC let it happen ?

Probably, unless some tripartite nation withdraws. UWW and IOC are in a tough spot, might as well take the easier route and give 1 extra quota to wrestling. Besides, in tennis they already will compete with more than what they were given.

We received an invitation in wrestling today, but nobody says why exactly.

 

Božo Starčević - Men's Greco-Roman -75kg

[dcro 10,182]

Yes, our wrestling federation has confirmed that we have received an unused host quota, meaning that we can expect 3 more nations to qualify.
