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

    • Unheralded Suzan Lamens won Osaka 250 title as a qualifier. These Asian 250s are really the easiest way to make a run at a maiden WTA title for all these lower ranked players!
    • Dove into my results archive again...   I thought it might be fun to look at a single event from the same multi-sports games over time, so here's some comparative rankings from the Pan American Games (2007-2023).   Men's Shot Put (Winners) - Athletics 2019 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 22.07m 2015 Pan American Games: O'Dayne Richards  - 21.69m 2023 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 21.36m 2011 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 21.30m 2007 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 20.10m   Women's K1 500m (Winners) - Canoe Sprint 2023 Pan American Games: Michelle Russell  - 1:51.25 2019 Pan American Games: Beatriz Briones  - 1:52.552 2011 Pan American Games: Carrie Ann Johnson  - 1:54.243 2015 Pan American Games: Yusmari Mengana  - 2:00.656 2007 Pan American Games: Jill D'Alessio  - 2:01.977   Men's Sprint Qualification (1st Ranked Riders) - Track Cycling 2023 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.574 (75.203 km/h) 2019 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.808 (73.409 km/h) 2011 Pan American Games: Njisane Phillip  - 9.977 (72.165 km/h) 2015 Pan American Games: Hugo Barrette  - 9.978 (72.158 km/h) 2007 Pan American Games: Julio Cesar Herrera  - 10.772 (66.839 km/h)   Women's Jump (Winners) - Water Ski 2023 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 52.2 2011 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 50.60 2015 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 49.1 2007 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 43.70 Note: The 2019 Pan American Games were scored differently, thus not included on the ranking. Regina Jaquess  was the winner.     I didn't chose the above events for any particular reason, just thought I'd be interesting to look at the results. If there are any other events users would like to me to do this with, just tag me below. 
    • Canoe Polo World Championships are coming to the end. If i'm not mistaken this countries should get quotas:   Men   Women ()  Last spot should be decided between  and  in match for 7th place.   https://www.kayak-polo.info/app/#/chart Qualification system: https://www.canoeicf.com/sites/default/files/2025_cap_worldsgames-qs_061123.pdf
    • This 400IM field is a joke  (besides MSH…)  
    • Marc Marquez with a horror start (saved it nicely though)....turns out it was because right before the start, he took off a tear-off from his visor, threw it away and it ended up under his own bike  
    • That was Friday though, yesterday was better (although a seagull was destroyed by Miller) and today so far has not had any problem at all luckily  
    • And a Dutch record for Nyls Korstanje behind him     
    • WR for  Noe Ponti in the 50m butterfly! 21.67! 
    • Well, Honda and Yamaha are getting pantsed this season even more but at least we have more geese in Phillip Island    
    • Sven Goran Eriksson probably had 1 year to live after the diagnosis but it was a good life or so it looked like - he traveled, for example, he was in Rome at the Lazio stadium in the spring. If he felt really bad, he probably wouldn't have traveled. I hope it's similar for Hoy, although unfortunately cancer with metastases to the guests can cause severe pain
