Egypt won 6 quotas (means a full Greco team) while Australia, Morocco and Algeria won two each.

 

I could watch some matches today, I think the only wrestler here who has a chance to make noise in Rio is Haithem Mahmoud Fahmy of Egypt. Both Australian wrestlers (Kumar and Popov) are extremely weak, I think everybody want them for the 1st round draw in Rio.

 

Women's competition looks more competitive with Nigeria, Cameroon and Senegal.

Wow, most of the matches here finish by fall.

[MHSN 3,777]

We already know 11 out of 12

4 NGR

2 EGY

2 TUN

2 CMR

1 SEN

 

CMR most probably will get the last spot 

 

100% record for Egypt ! 8 out of 8 so far. They had only 2 female wrestlers today

DId anybody here watch 63kg final ?! This Nigerian girl Oborududu is probably the stupidest person ever !! she got into the final and secured the quota then she lost the final 7-7 to a controversial call (but I believe the call was correct) and then the way she was protesting and crying and doing stupid moves after the match was quite weird. they could EASILY disqualify her, she didn't get an automatic disqualification since the center referee after all managed to raised her opponent's hand (mandatory in wrestling) but I won't surprise if they disqualify her later (a bit unlikely though)

I checked their website once again and her name is still there so she is lucky.

I watched so many wrestling competitions and such behaviour means disqualification but they showed her mercy
