Zsuzsanna Molnar that does not sound really slovak to be honest. Is she former Hungarian ?

 

Have no clue about this tournament, are Salkazanov and Gulaev competing ?

the wrestling database tells us that she only wrestled for Slovakia in her entire career and never achieved anything special until today. even though even here she only beat Peru to reach the semifinal.

 

and yes Salkazanov, Gulaev, Makoev they are all listed in the entry list for the freestyle competition.

 

and this tournament is a replacement for the cancelled World Championship.

1) Thanks.

 

Well, this is maybe the reason why I never heard about her, and I am not afraid at all to say that I have a decent knowledge of Slovak sports and Slovak athletes.

 

Anyway, did some googling and it looks she is in fact Slovak from Hungarian minority, this is why her surname does not finish by ová.

Also surprised to see She is part of our Olympic Committee Junior Olympic Team Project https://www.olympic.sk/jot/zsuzsanna-molnar, it is usually not easy to get there, so clearly she had to show some talent and a perspective for the future.

She started with karate but switched to wrestling.

 

2) Cool, hopefully they will achieve some decent result and somehow help the federation and sport receive some financial support in the future.

 

3) Well, still better than nothing I guess, at least some competition this year

Has Kyrgyzstan improved, or are they milking the absence of others?

both things, I'd say...

 

Sharshembekov is a good wrestler (he was 5th at the last world champs) and it looks this time he had the tournament of his life (Maryanyan is one of the great figures of his weight class, beating him is always a great achievement...and also the Armenian Galstyan is a medallist from last year's worlds and now is behind the Kirgiz)...

 

Tynybekova is the reigning world champion, so, she's always the woman to beat...

 

the other guys took advantage of the many absent wrestlers stronger than them (still Sulaimanov was 7th at last year's worlds, he's not totally unknown)...

both. they were always good in lower weights. they rarely win medals in world level but they are always "close" now with less medal contenders, they can finish on the podium.
