what do you think about Kerem Kamal's throw on Emelin in the -60kg final, when they first awarded 4 points to the Turkish guy and then they cancelled them after the Russian coach's challenge? :mumble:

they called it the leg foul. it was a close call but I would give it 4 to Kamal. he was the better wrestler clearly. even without that 4pts throw still they could give Emelin another passivity caution.

 

the way they give cautions is terrible. no consistency at all. nobody knows when they are going to give a 3rd caution. in that match Kamal worked really hard for a 3rd caution but they didn't give it. probably because they knew Kamal may score something and win the match, (and they didn't want to make the big Mamiashvili angry) but then for example in Italy-Austria 97kg bronze medal match, they gave a nonsense 3rd caution against Nikoloz. most probably because they knew the Austrian can't move him an inch. in that POL-SRB match I explain above, they didn't even give the 2nd caution despite absolutely no activity in the 2nd period.

 

whenever I see a tournament with relatively "good officiating" they come back strongly the next tournament with some terrible officiating (not necessarily on purpose, sometimes simply because they are stupid) to make sure nobody forgets how bad they are. I couldn't watch the preliminaries since Iam busy these days but I watched yesterday and tonight finals and saw so many calls I consider them questionable.

yeah, I saw those bouts and sometimes I had a difficult time to understand what refs and judges were doing...

 

I think they have to find the way to end this kind of controversies if they want the sport to have a bright future...

 

I'm sure IOC is there with their lenses to find an excuse to drop GR and cut some spots/weights for the other styles...it would be extremely stupid to give them a chance because of bad/not easily understandable rules and even worse officiating...

    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
