fuck these russian biased referees

and Kuwait won a bronze medal by beating .... nobody the Russian guy withdrew from the bronze medal match.

 

the level isn't great in general here. there are some big names in some weights but in general both the qualify and the quantity aren't great. no surprise we will have the European QT in couple weeks. Kazakhstan and Hungary brought almost their full squad here. probably kind of their internal trials. Russia is here with "almost" A team but their guys for the European OQT are absent as expected.

 

hopefully the level is better in freestyle, we only sent two FS guys here. don't ask me why just 2 , why not a full team, (or even why not sending nobody) our federation is sometimes "hard" to understand.

UWW confirms the rumor I heard long time ago

the former world champion Khetag Tsabolov will wrestle for Serbia, in UWW database they are showing Serbian flag instead of Russia for him

still he will miss the European Qualifier next week since he wrestled for Russia 3 years ago in the 2018 European Champs but if I'm not wrong he will eligible to wrestle in the last chance qualifier in Bulgaria.

 

he is a very tricky wrestler, at the age of 29 he is not in his best shape but he beat world champion Sidakov in the Russian nationals last year. he can beat anybody in the world if his opponent makes a mistake.  if he qualifies, he will be one of the medal contenders in Tokyo.

[MHSN 3,661]

we have Russian nationals this weekend, the winner most probably will go to the Olympics.

 

Zaur Uguev (57), Zaurbek Sidakov (74), Artur Naifokov (86) win the nationals, 65kg final is scheduled for tomorrow but Gazhimurad Rashidov is expected to win. at 97kg, the great Abdulrashid Sadulev was exempt and didn't wrestle here, he will be in Tokyo. and Russian's main guy at 125 (Shamil Sharipov) didn't wrestle here too, why ? because he has to wrestle in Hungary next weekend for the Olympic quota. he will wrestle Sergey Kozyrov (125kg winner here) in April. this is the only weight Russia failed to qualify in Nur-Sultan.

 

this is the 74kg final, where a VERY DUMB mistake by Razambek Zhamalov most probably cost him an Olympic medal, he was leading 2-0 against World Champion Sidakov, gave up a pushout in last 10 seconds, still leading 2-1, gave up another in last 2 seconds because he thought he had a 2pointer and 2-2 would be enough for him! which was a mistake, he had 1+1

The Hungarian team for the European Championships (wrestlers who already qualified for Tokyo in bold)

 

Greco-Roman

60kg: József Andrási

63kg: Erik Torba

67kg: Máté Krasznai

72kg: Róbert Fritsch

77kg: Tamás Lőrincz

82kg: László Szabó

87kg: Viktor Lőrincz

97kg: Balázs Kiss

 

Freestyle

61kg: Richárd Villhelm

65kg: Iszmail Muszukajev

70kg: Dániel Antal

74kg: Csaba Vida

125kg: Dániel Ligeti

 

Women's

55kg: Mercédesz Dénes

57kg: Ramóna Galabos

62kg: Marianna Sastin

75kg: Zsanett Németh

 

This will be the final international event for World Champion Balázs Kiss before he retires. And as you can see, this will be the "warm-up event" for our wrestlers who qualified for Tokyo at the WCh in 2019. Korpási is "taking a break" after the successful European qualifiers.

Is Sadulaev still making everyone else look like a human ragdoll?  

Expand  

the new Sadulaev is a bit conservative, he scores 3 or 4 and wins 3-0 or 4-0. some people think he is getting weaker but I don't think so, he just doesn't care about the scoreboard anymore. he wants the win with less possible risks. some wrestlers scored 1 or 2 against him "made him angry" and he destroyed them later

oh well , I assume this guy is/was a legend in India, 2 time Olympic medalist and the only Indian World Champion in this sport. that's really sad and disappointing.
