Wrestling UWW European Championships 2018


Recommended Posts

great job by Frank Chamizo, who literally destroyed both the Georgian guy and the Russian Tsabolov in the quarterfinals of the -74kg class, showing that he's perfectly fit also for this weight, the 3rd different one since 2015 (and not counting the -55kg in 2010, when he was still a kid wrestling for his native Cuba)...

now it's time to face the reigning European Champion in this class, Soner Demirtas from Turkey (actually, a Russian born guy), in the semis...

 

on the other hand, unlucky outcome for Shamiil Kudiiamagomedov, the other brand new face of the Italian team...after defeating quite easily Makoev (formerly RUS, now SVK), he wrestled very well against the "true" Russian Naifonov, but in the end he lost by just 1 single point (7-6, a very interesting bout)...

I hope that Naifonov can at least make the final, so to give Shamil the chance to try and get a Bronze in this first experience with our team...

 

Turkey has a history of buying Russian wrestlers and changing their names. I can name 4-5 right now. Bereket, Shahin, Yashar, both Erdogans, but I believe Demirtas is a true Turk ! :d

I have to check that out...I was almost sure he's one of those they took from Caucasus...:mumble:

I'll do some research on that...

Chamizo is a continuous surprise...I didn't expect him to beat Tsabolov that way...

by the way, Tsabolov is the only Russian that hasn't got at least to the semifinals...today we have 5 of them in the 5 gold medal matches...and 4 out of 5 in the semis of tomorrow's weights...:yikes:

 

Russia usually dominates the freestyle and this time they are the host. no surprise. and these new rules are strongly in favor of them. actually UWW made them because of Russia's influence. some other big wrestling nations are against them (I know Iran, USA and Japan). during the Asian Champs. all Asian countries sent a joint letter to UWW asking them to change the weight-in system because this is not good for health but of course they didn't give a shit. if you notice they still followed the one-day format for the Asian Championship.

 

Russian wrestleres are technically great, everybody knows that, but they usually gas after 3-4 minutes. that's how you can beat them if you are not technically as good as them. now with this rule they have more time to recover in long tournaments. I believe in current Russian squad, they have very good chance (almost certain) to win the gold in the world at 61kg. 92kg. but 74kg. 125kg and 86kg are almost impossible for them. this year Asian countries will focus more on the Asian Games, good chance for Russia to make up for last year's poor results. I guess they will win 4-5 gold medals in World Championship only in freestyle.

 

and the big question is. which weight the great Sadulaev will pick for Tokyo 2020 ! will he challenge Snyder for 97kg gold or he will cut weight back to challenge our Yazdani for 86kg gold ? of course I hope he picks Snyder to take revenge :d

meanwhile, good news for Kudiiamagomedov...Naifonov won hi ssemifinal bout, so he has a chance to go for Bronze tomorrow in the repechage rounds...

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
