Wrestling Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

[MHSN 3,619]

Hosts announced for few more of Olympic qualifiers, 3 candidates for European qualifier and also no host announced for Pan American (even though it seems that will be somewhere in USA)

 

Africa/Oceania: El Jadida

Europe: Zrenjanin or Rome or Baku

Asia: Xian

World Final Qualifier: Sofia

 

I'm glad China will host the Asian qualifier, not Uzbekistan or South Korea. at least less cheating. Kazakhstan hosting the main qualifier was already enough for the sake of "fair play"

According to German media, Khadijev from France (Freestyle, 74kg) was tested positive at the World Championships.

most probably the 7th place guy from Poland.

 

but I think it's better to wait for the official confirmation.

or maybe they will just cancel Khadjiev's name from the list of qualified wrestlers through the world champs and then add an available spot at the world qualification tournament in Sofia...

Still waiting for the B-sample and CAS appeal - it won't change anything, just give the UWW less time to make a solution (or maybe that would let them do anything as everything will be finished after qualifiers).

That's probably more "fair" because UWW's formula for ranking wrestlers from 7th to last is terrible.

 

but then the Qualification rule says "Top 6" qualify, and he is top 6 now. so I assume he should get the quota.

UWW won't wait for CAS decision, they will make the changes after the B sample and official disqualification.

 

back in 2016 when CAS overturned some decisions, they added all those wrestlers to the list again (without removing anybody) and we had few extra wrestlers in Rio.

 

but I wonder if Khadjiev is the only positive doping result from 2019 Worlds,
