Wrestling UWW European Championships 2021

[Adriano 439]

Still many good wrestlers, but only two tickets. We have only 2 quotasm in men's category, one for freestyle, one Greco-roman. We will make some changes for last tournaments.

This kind of battle should be in higher stage than 1 round

no doubt about that. but it happens as long as there is no proper seeding. they have a very poor and non-efficient ranking system but they only use it for the Olympics (and OQTs) and the World Championship.

 

they really need to think of some kind of ranking system, something much better than the current one. which is a joke (still better than nothing though)

Tajmuraz molodets

 

I swear if he will not qualify to Tokyo, there something fishy in the wrestling world...

74kg level is great. lots of favorites. Chamizo just lost to Salkazanov. while Tsabolov had a disappointing debut for Serbia losing 10-7 to Kentchadze and most importantly he didn't look good.

Both wrestlers competing today made it to the semifinals ! This must be a historic first ever. however both will face in the semi so likely game over, but still pretty nice and valuable results here + Gulaev as finalist in the non-olympic -79kg, Best SVK European championship in history.

 

Tajmuraz had some drastic nightmare draw, here with Chamizo, Kentchadze and Zhamalov in his way. No one can say that the guy is a "lucky man"

 

However, our coaches has the chance to train and work with 3 really decent wrestlers, if they will really fail to qualify at least one to the Olympics this should be seriously classified like a fraud crime

Tajmuraaaaz !!!!

Salkazanov had the day of his life. he beat Chamizo, Kentchadze and Zhamalov on his way to the final !!!! all 3 of them in last 15 seconds.

 

and this guy isn't even qualified for the Olympics yet !!!

he was injured (right arm) during the European Qualifier tournament (injury happened apparently 3 days before the tournament during the final preparation minicamp) and as you remember at the world champs he was selected in the non-olympic weight...

 

2 unfortunate moments that may really end in a missed 4 year olympic cycle for this kid, which would be really a shame, because he deserve this quota more than let say a couple of others already qualified...hopefully he will be able to have some luck in Sofia.
