There will be 5 quotas in women's 57kg at the qualifier 
 
Parveen Hooda loses the quota due to whereabouts failure. She'll serve a short ban and return next year after the case was heard earlier by ITA. Big mistake by the coaches here.
 
 
 will send Jasmine in this category for the final Olympic qualifiers

Yes but i think SYQ is stronger. He has better smash. I am Indonesian and i feel Christie has nothing special ( despite winning AllEngland and beating CHN SYQ and LSF in Ningbo last month). His game is more to tiring opponents. He might easily lose in earlier rounds. My money would be on Shi.
 
@Josh Do you put China around 38-39 golds? I saw the line in my books were O/U 33.5 which is omg.

Russia will have at least 5 of the 16 Olympians at 74 kg
-Zaurbek Sidakov, RUS
-Khetik Tsabolov, SRB
-Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov, BLR
-Viktor Rassadin, TJK
-Tajmuraz Salkazanov, SVK
 
Cherman Valiev, ALB - can make it 6 if he wins tomorrow
 
Also Zhamalov and Bekzod are going to ranking series to determine who goes to Paris for Uzbekistan.

No quota for 

Don't think the 3rd one was intentional. Poor Akobia 

Lazarev  to his 3rd straight Olympics. He lost at the same stage last time before qualifying later on due to a positive dope test of wrestler. In 2016 too he qualified due to doping of opponent.

Massive day in Indian Women's Wrestling!!!
 
 win their 5th Quota and will send their biggest women's wrestling team to Olympics.
 
The bigger news is that after 16 months of protests, struggle, and criticism to women wrestlers who demanded the arrest of the then WFI President, Brij Bhushan has finally paid off. The former WFI President has been charged with molestation and sexual harrasment by the court of female wrestlers including minors. The protest was led by Vinesh Phogat, multiple world medallist, Bajrang Punia, 2020 Olympic bronze medalist and Sakshi Malik, India's first female Olympic medallist in wrestling.
 
Truth prevails in the end.

Final Qualifier having lots of upsets, Nikolova losing to  and then Cuban leading in QF by a huge margin losing by fall at the end to  was big in 57kg and faces  in SF .we also lost  Jong In Sun in same category.
 
Wendle was unlucky in 53kg I felt.
 
Top half in 76kg went against my expectations but yeah heavy wrestlers and most of them are close by in terms of levels.
 
Rest almost all were according to plans. Nesrin Bas  qualified for 62kg semis on own merit, she is a European medallist in 72kg earlier this year. Not an easy weight cut.

Jong In Sun loses that's some result 
 
AG: She almost beat WC Sakurai losing 6-7 in final
 
AOQ: Lead 8-0 before losing by fall
 
WOQ: Not in best form, suffered an injury, lost.
 

Women's Wrestling 
 
50kg   is the favourite in top half.  can challenge but as seen at Asian OQ she gets tired towards end. Stadnik also lost in dying seconds at EOQ. could be a dark horse.
 
Bottom half Genesis is favourite but Blayvas is good too.
 
I go with 
 
53: Very difficult to call. Orsus looked out of form in EOQ so I go with . Bottom half is complicated but I pickle Annika Wendle  and Prevolarki.
 
57: Top half is hard 
 should go through with  as one to look out. Bottom half easy one for .
 
62. Very difficult top half
Incze is the best wrestler in the field and should go through. are also in the same half but I predict  to go through (a little bias).  should go through in bottom half with  wrestler with some chance though weight cut will be her issue.
 
68 Two good wrestlers Hristova and Zhou  are in same half at bottom both should go.Nisha is the best in the top half with  able to challenge her.
 
76 Syzdykova and  Axente are good in the former and I expect both to qualify.  takes on  in 1st match winner of this will win quota probably and the other has chance through Repechage I prefer the former to win quota directly.
