Fly_like_a_don 971 Posted March 23, 2021 #132 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi Malik has failed to qualify in trials, Defending Asian Champion who won all her matches by fall Divya Kakran has lost, former WC medallist Pooja Dhanda has lost, 3 time National Champion Kiran has lost .

MHSN 3,306 Posted March 24, 2021 #134 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Entries for the African/Oceania qualifier in Tunisia https://uww.org/article/african-and-oceania-olympic-qualifier-entries a bit surprised to see Australian wrestlers in the list considering how strict they are regarding the quarantine rules. (and wrestling is not a big deal there) Tunisia entered 2-3 wrestlers per weight but if we consider just one of them we will have only 3-4 wrestlers in some weights, (specially in Greco and women) since late withdrawals or disqualification (for not making the weight) is always possible. we may end up with 2 wrestlers in a weight receiving free quotas. interesting note: Blessing OBORUDUDU is in the entry list but that's against the news we heard long time ago about the Swedish girl Jenny Fransson being disqualified from the Worlds (therefore giving her quota to Nigeria) maybe the process of disqualifying Fransson is not over yet but what if Oborududu qualifies here too ? who will get the reallocated quota? the next best wrestler from the 2019 Worlds ? (which is ) or next best girl from Africa? or maybe Fransson somehow survived the doping story ?! UWW never mentioned her in their doping list. that was only Swedish sources talking about her doping.

JoshMartini007 2,242 Posted March 24, 2021 #135 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Quite a few athletes from Oceania, more than I thought. Also we could see our first athlete from qualify to the Olympics (possibly too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that World Championships have higher priority, so, if Blessing will qualify also from African/Ocenian qualifier I believe that next best African girl will qualify, but I would be glad to be wrong and see our girl as qualified to Olympics in different way MHSN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(even though it's taking too long, we heard about Fransson something like 15 months ago) I only see 5 wrestlers in the list for her weight, so it will be a round robin competition meaning they can always come back to the results and pick up the 3rd girl to qualify instead of her.

According to this (from 2 months ago) it says her career is over (mind you, I used Google translate) https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/7640233 MHSN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
