Wrestling UWW World Olympic Games Qualifier 2021

we have only one wrestler here, I have to admit before the start of the qualification process I would be happy with 10 quotas since I knew we are weak in some weights. but our freestyle team managed to continue the tradition of having a complete team at the Olympics and we somehow have 11 quotas already. interestingly 87kg Greco was one of the "safest" weights in my mind.

 

Ramin Taheri lost 1-1 in 2019 Worlds Quarterfinal, he could win the match if the officiating was "fair", then again Hossein Nouri lost the Asian Qualifier semifinal 4-4 despite leading comfortably 4-0 until the last 30 seconds. I mean they were VERY CLOSE twice before.

 

this time we are bringing a youngster Nasser Alizadeh. personally I don't have high hopes about him but we will see. 11 out of 12 in men's wrestling is still a good result. specially if Russia also fails to complete its team here :d

I think India only has chances in Women wrestling here for gaining any quotas ? Looks difficult in freestyle and greco roman. 

 

Is there any preview anywhere on womens wrestling event here or from someone on this forum ?

I'll be happy if we don't get any quota because our federation is shameful not sending it's best athletes in women's category 

1.Seema is out of form don't expect much. She isn't the best in the weight 

 

2.Nisha is horrible.She lost by fall to Korea and she's the 2nd best Indian. Asian champion in 68kg from 2020 who could have won medal at Olympics, Divya was not chosen Bcz she was recovering from covid when trials happened. She did win gold in non olympic category though. 

 

3.Pooja is the 2nd best Indian here not the 2nd best wrestler though.  World silver medalist from 2018 Yasmine Adar of Turkey is also here. Pooja has more chances than other Indian women wrestlers here but Kiran could have won the 2nd quota easily. 

 

At least Divya and Kiran should have been there

Thanks for that review. 

 

I think there is no clear favorite in womens 50Kg in India. Seema may or may not be India #1. If she gets back to form, she may still have a chance. The best in these lower categories usually come from Asia and all the good Asian wrestlers have already qualified. Is there anyone else in the entry list who is very good ?

Jessica MacDonald of Canada. 

Can't rule out the Uzbek and Taipei girl too.

But I think all of them are beatable if Seema shows the form which she had shown a year or two back.  

 

This is Vinesh's weight category before she moved up. Not so difficult for India to get good wrestlers in this weight category. Maybe a temporary blip.

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
