summary of women's quotas 50: 53: 57: 62: 68: 76: 2 for 1 for first quota in wrestling for France and Latvia 7 of 12 seeded wrestlers qualified. that's much better than just 1 from yesterday. to me that says women cut less weight. so they participate in more events therefore their ranking is more real.

They are 1000 direct points, but usually the ranking worked in 12 months period, so every month the shooters lost 1/12 of the points obtained the month before but nowadays I don't know if they will froze the ranking after New Delhi, the April one, it's not clear.

Was not that familiar with her, but she impressed me. Guess our team also didn't knew her well, because Yaneva had a bad match against her.

Once again this Team Event is pure bullshit. It was even better and much more fair, when they run individually Super G and Slalom. This is nonsense.

I think it's about 50-50... surely, there's a new policy by our NF (recently a new board has been elected, even if the federation's president is always the same man), but also they got a bit more money from our NOC than in the past... as said, they manage also Judo and Karate, and all the success we had recently in those 2 sports (also at youth level, even in wrestling we got a few global junior and cadet medals, like Freni, Piroddu and some girls) led our NOC to give them more money... meanwhile, those youth medals, convinced our federation to give those guys a few opportunities to see if they can translate that early success into senior medals one day or the other... and of course we're also taking advantage from those foreign wrestlers often training in Italy that nowadays sometimes also decide to switch to our NF (like Conyedo, Kakhelashvili and others to come*)... *Chamizo is a different story, as he got married with Dalma Caneva when still living between Cuba and New York after he was left out of the Cuban team in 2012 and so he decided to come and wrestle for our Country, even if the Cubans tried to get him back in their team (but it was too late and he's too proud to forget the 2012 disrespect they had for him)... now we have to see how things develop after this pandemic, because our "small" sports have been hit hard and there's a chance we're going to lose many youngster among those practicing those disciplines (I mean, swimming pools and gyms are still closed here in Italy and "contact" sports are only authorized at olympic level, but they're still stopped for what concerns all the amateur and youth activity, which are the craddle where to find athletes for the future of our National teams)...

In Italy, Wrrestling federation is associated with Judo and Karate (strange think!), but not witch taekwondo that is indipendent. In 2021, this federation use to send many atlhetes in competiotions, in reverse of 2020 and 2019. Why? I don't know..Distribution of money, i think

Huge Come back by Dinamo Zagreb against Tottenham 3-0 after losing 1st leg 2-0 and it was only beauties from Orsic who scored some really puskas award candidate goals tonight

so at the end of the day 3 2 1 what a pleasant surprise at the end, Khramiankou just beat Sharipov by a last second takedown. good challenge from the Belarusian coach. and Sharipov himself knew he lost the match even before the final confirmation. I think Tedeev (Russian FS head coach who was absent here) is going to kill him right at the airport he better takes refugee in Hungary and Azerbaijan lost another "supposed to be" easy quota. this time to Germany, grandpa Magomedov gassed after 30-40 seconds and the German guy pushed him out of the mat like 100 times. interesting point, only 1 of 12 seeded wrestlers qualified for Tokyo (Vangelov) that says enough about the seeding system. the best wrestler of the day: Khramiankou

it's over...Montenegro win against Norway... I just can't imagine the Olympic Games without Norway...

Oh my, Norway is losing their match against Montenegro, +5 for MNE only 8 minutes left.
