phelps 6,770 Posted July 11, 2019 #51 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Last Ranking Series tournament for men's Freestyle and women's Wrestling before the World Champs, the Yasar Dogu in Istanbul (TUR)... to be honest, not many names to be remembered on the mat... Day #1 Finalists: Women's Wrestling -50kg: Valeriya CHEPSARAKOVA vs Seema SEEMA -55kg: Zulfiya YAKHYAROVA vs Bediha GUN -59kg: Kumari MANJU vs Katsiaryna HANCHAR YANUSHKEVICH -65kg: Forrest Ann MOLINARI vs Natalia FEDOSEEVA Men's Freestyle -57kg: Baris KAYA vs Givi DAVIDOVI -61kg: Rahul Balasaheb AWARE vs Munir Recep AKTAS -70kg: Murtazali MUSLIMOV vs Mihail Iliev GEORGIEV unbelievable day for our Givi Davidovi...first, he won a crazy match against Giorgi Edisherashvili (after a 10-10 tie on the mat) in the first round, then in the semifinal match he was 8-1 down against Mikyay Salim Naim with only 40 seconds still to play and finally he found some magic to comeback and win the bout by a score of 9-8... unfortunately, even a win in tomorrow's final won't give him enough points to sneak in into the top 4 of the -57kg class ranking before the Worlds, so to have an easier draw in the early rounds... still, it would be a prestigious win and a huge boost just ahead of the big event of the year...

Really not the strongest roster but i recognize few of them. Beside Gigi there is also Muslimov who had good ECh last year. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess most big countries are busy with their own trial system and those "already selected" athletes are focusing on the main tournament. beside that we had European Games few days ago. after all those ranking points is not THAT important. the only good thing in being top 4 is you most probably will get a bye in first round. no more. there are so many unseeded great wrestlers much better than top seeds. as for Iran, we have a small team here. only 79kg here is our main guy. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,770 Posted July 13, 2019 #55 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) thankfully, a few more interesting things happened on Friday and earlier today in Istanbul... in particular, everything is set for tomorrow's showdown in the men's -74kg, when a new chapter of the rivalry between Frank Chamizo and Jordan Burroughs will be on stage... however, I don't expect anything special, as Chamizo is just coming back from a muscular injury that prevented his participation to the European games just a couple of weeks ago...so, he can't be in the best shape... still, the names involved are always worth watching... and for the joy of our dear friend @hckosice we have a couple of Slovakians on fire as Gulaev made the final in the men's -79kg and Makoev will be in the bronze medal match in the -86kg...

Apparently Frank Chamizo withdraw... I hope that it's just a precaution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
