Midana qualified too. Amazingly, not a single easy match for Guinea-Bissau. Their opponents today were and that's it.

 

Too bad their only multiple continental gold medalist missed out though.

the Algerian guy does not look really satisfied with the challenge result

Midana for his 4th Olympics he is 36 now but he was a pretty good wrestler in his prime days. probably in top 8 of the world at some point.

 

btw feel sorry for the Algerian wrestler, he was really devastated at the end but the call was obviously correct and he knew it himself , that was a desperate try

Australia will not have a single wrestler for the first time since Antwerp 1920.

that was the ugliest way possible to qualify ! the RSA wrestler was totally healthy before the match, their heads bumped into each other and the doctors couldn't stop the bleeding. and if you can't stop the bleeding in 4 minutes you lost ! that's it.

 

but what if the doctors suck ?! the wrestler will pay the price

good day for Algeria, they didn't qualify a single wrestler in men's freestyle last time in 2016.

Huge respect for Midana, I thought his age has finally caught up to him, but he proved me wrong and earned his spot by defeating decent opponents. Even though he's in an easier to qualify continent, four Olympics as a wrestler is very difficult to do

So this is one of the posters about the Qualifier released like weeks ago. 

 

The interesting thing is the only Oceania athlete in the poster is Rckaela Maree Aquino of Guam, the only Oceania athlete to qualify. So did the UWW knew the results? Or did they decide the draw beforehand? That would be a mystery. Taking nothing away from the Guam athlete but it's kinda funny how UWW knew whom to put ( They could have added Lahnee Aquino too who has more experience - Youth Olympic Games)  than Rckaela

Right. It must have been androids, aliens and wizards.
