and at the end we will have 3 wrestlers in bronze medal matches, while Salehizadeh narrowly missed that by losing 4-4 in a match he was much better but lost to his own blind attacks.

 

I'm sick of speaking of the officiating in UWW competitions. they are still corrupt , they just changed their directions, instead of supporting countries like Azerbaijan now they are gifting medals to someone else.

 

and rules suck big time, I advise everybody to watch all matches of Viktor Nemes of Serbia, in 4 matches this guy scored only and only 1 technical point which was a pushout. so he will win a world medal without any wrestling technique ! anything at all. and I'm not even talking about the dubious officiating, just the rules.

 

we lost 5 matches this session, Geraei lost 6-3 to Stabler, fair and square, there were some bad calls in 98kg Iran-Georgia match but after all Salehi lost to his own mistakes 4-4 but in other 3 defeats. we lost without giving up even 1 technical point. Salehi lost 3-1 to Aleksanyan, Aleksanyan did nothing but well I can accept that he is great and the Olympic Champion. but if Salehi was from Russia (and not Iran) they could make him the winner in a tie match like that. at 75. Abdevali scored the only technical point against Nemes but of course refs gave 2 caution points to Nemes . Nemes is very tough and it's really hard to score against him. but the worst match of the day was 85kg semifinal. nobody expected Nouri to go that far. he lost 4-1 while Kudla did absolutely nothing. UWW already gifted a free Olympic medal to Kudla to Rio, (Lorincz got robbed badly against him) looks like they love this guy. if you watch the match the center referee asked caution points for Kudla like 10 times ! maybe even more, I never saw such a thing in my life. other refs rejected him several times but eventually they let him do "his job". Nouri scored the only real point of the match .

 

while I wrote more about the refs, I believe the biggest problem is the rules, winning matches based on only cautions is stupid and that should not exist in this sport. they are ruining Greco-Roman. I hope they change the rules and put par-terre back to the sport.

    • To be fair, the only way to make the qualifying day shorter is by allowing fewer athletes and I really don't think that's a good trade-off for the sport. Qualifying day can be the biggest spectacle one can imagine, it's still not going to draw amazing viewing numbers anyway, since it's basically just laying the foundation for the weekend.   Ice resurfacing definitely takes a while if done properly, if pushing it they could maybe get it done just under 15 minutes or so. I'm a little afraid it goes the way of athletics, where things are pushed more and more into ever shorter formats. Shorttrack days and sessions can only realistically be made shorter if they spread a World Cup out over 4 instead of 3 days, but it's not like Thursday is going to be a massive audience day.
    • I wish the ISU would make each of the sessions shorter… they all last between 3-5 hours (and sometimes 10 hours with the qualifying sessions) and me personally I find it highly annoying and unnecessary, because there’s so many breaks in between (for ice resurfacing it’s understandable, but it doesn’t take the 15-20 minutes long breaks to do it…)
    • The only thing I can think of that has gotten in the way can be geo-restrictions, like the Fridays being available on YouTube, but not the Saturdays and Sundays, preventing new people from really getting into it. Somehow I doubt a new format means it will be made more welcoming for new viewers though...
    • But what can be improved? Broadcasting has for years already been excellent, with races that are quite clear to follow and fine graphics that have all we need. How is "Suzanne Schulting for the Dutch Lions!" instead of "Suzanne Schulting from the Netherlands!" going to make it a better 'broadcast product'?
    • I do think we need a rethink of how short track is packaged as a broadcast product given how little money is involved. Pretty hard to make a living in that sport.
    • Finals are set    An all-Canadian final on the women’s side, as Team Homan looks to win their third title of the season (and improve to 18-1) against a hungry Team Einarson who have had a less than ideal start to the season, they were also the last Canadian team to beat Homan over a year ago (same event coincidentally), while on the men’s side it’ll be a battle between Olympic medalists as Team Mouat goes against Team Gushue!
