Even if that happens it will be a huge boost. Exactly. The way people cheered Sindhu/Dipa is heartening. Star Sports has been telecasting Super Series events regularly (QF onwards), so viewership is bound to increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhusudhan 8 Posted August 20, 2016 #4375 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Did any one have idea what would have been the result in case of Sakshi match ended in tie 5-5? I felt that sakshi is winner in case of tie as she scored the last points but commentator was saying some thing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt that sakshi is winner in case of tie as she scored the last points but commentator was saying some thing else My initial assessment was that even without those last second points, she would have been winner. In case of tie, the wrestler with the highest scoring move wins. In that match, both had 2-2-1 points, so another tie. In which case, last point wins, i.e. Sakshi. I am assuming that commentator assumed that Kyrgyz wrestler had scored 4+1 instead of 2+2+1 as her 2+2 came in succesion, one move of 2 leading to another move of 2. But, it was still 2+2 and not 4. But, there is one thing that is bothering me why would Kyrgyz wrestler challenge. Even if she won challenge, it would have ended 5-5 and Sakshi would have won the match. So, there is a good chance, I am missing something and commentator was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clarification...In the initial bout I was wondering how Shakshi has won when it was a tie, but only opponent scored the last point. now it's clear.

I want to be sure abt these rules for yogeswar match to avoid tension... my view was sakshi was winner even with 5-5 score but even then sakshi was desperate to score points in last seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhusudhan 8 Posted August 20, 2016 #4379 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Is there any criteria how the draw is made in boxing and wrestling? These are the two events i felt that where there was a chance of two top players meeting each other in initial rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the two events i felt that where there was a chance of two top players meeting each other in initial rounds Top players meet each other in initial rounds in these two events as there are very low number of seeded entries. In Wrestling, IIRC the finalists from the last World Championships were given top 2 seeds and rest all were placed randomly. Even this an improvement as in London, there was no seeds and you could have repeat of WC final in first round itself. There are demands for more seeds and UWW has been trying to popularise its rankings but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. For Boxing, I am not sure if any seeding was used. Also, how would they compare boxers from different formats (amateurs vs ABP vs WSB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
