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

 

Congrats ! also quota for Czech Republic in womens -63kg for Adela Hanzlíčková. http://oh.idnes.cz/zapasnice-hanzlickova-pojede-na-olympijske-hry-fry-/rio-2016.aspx?c=A160713_195519_olympiada-rio-2016_tof

Well, it's only fair that UWW follows its own rules set in qualification system. And QS says that unused host quotas will go to either tripartite nations or highest ranked unqualified nations from 2015 Worlds.

 

Anyway, it would have been so unfair if nations that were hoping to get unused host quotas had to pay for the mess UWW made with doping disqualifications.

 

Btw, tennis went 20+ athletes overboard, UWW has nothing to worry about.

Don't worry athletics is looking to have almost 200 overboard and that's assuming Russia will still be (mostly) banned.

UWW website is down now, but when it works you can read this link

the Australian wrestler Vinod Kumar failed the test, giving the spot to Craig Miller of New Zealand, I wonder if NZL accepts this, this guy Miller is winning the quota without winning a single match !
