Men’ s FS 86 KG Quota places : & Men’s FS 125 KG Quota places : & # (# will gain a quota if re-allocation happens)

Men’s Team Final : 3-1 Sweden qualify 1 quota in men’s team (3 athletes) to Paris Olympics

has qualified its first athlete for Paris Olympics. Myles Nazem Amine achieved qualification in Men’s 86kg FS wrestling at the ongoing Wrestling world championships.

Now with athletes from & being allowed to compete in qualification events under AIN banner & them winning quota places, it is high time IOC must come clean on this issue and not drag on. Either they make a statement/ press release on this issue or sports federations make a clear statement on allocation/ reallocation of quotas won by AIN athletes. With just 10 months left for Olympics and qualification in most sports well underway , there needs to be clarity in this issues.

Abhimanyu won his repechage & will fight for Bronze vs Andreasyan in 70 kg (non-Olympic weight) Edit: Lost his bout

Theoretically yes, but the only strong team among those 4 is They will almost certainly get the quota here , the other 3 are not ranked high enough to get the quota place by ranking . Even getting a quota at world team championships will be tough for them. This is their best opportunity to get that quota with going out in the QF stage.

& qualify for the Final group stage in Men’s Team . 2 out of these 4 will secure quota places for Paris Olympics

Men’s Team Final : V Women’s Team Final : V

Can you do a summary for non-olympic weights please. Will be good to know , what to make of the competition in those weights & who will medal in those categories. Thanks!

Why would they have round robin after QF in a knockout format? Very strange way to conduct a championship perhaps the only confederation with a round robin format. The 2 quotas are justified as ITTF previously had a North American & South American confederation, which offered a single quota each. So by merging the two confederation into 1 they kept the same quota place. ITTF must think about merging Oceania with Asia/Africa like some sports do, that way will need to earn their quota place rather than getting a free quota and Asia/Africa teams will get to fight for an additional quota place.

Abhimanyu will fight in repechage against Akhmedov for a place in the bronze medal match.

Abhimanyu lost in QF to Retherford will have to wait to see if he can get chance in repechage . The other 3 wrestlers don’t have any chance as none of the wrestlers they lost to made SF.

Wrestling world championships starts today in Belgrade which is also an olympic qualification event ( Top 5 in each weight class) Today’s schedule: Men’s FS : 61, 70, 86* & 125* kgs (* olympic weight class) There was a time when we used to be excited & expecting our wrestlers to medal at worlds & get quotas.Current scenario is bleak, lets hope for good performances and some surprise results! Maybe a quota or two

We should win the tie & progress to promotion playoffs hopefully.

Share the order of play with match timings please.

It will be distributed via world team rankings , which will be updated just after the world team championships in Busan, next year. This is as per the qualification document released by ITTF.

Great Analysis, Thanks! I know is sending a much weakened team due to variety of reasons ( eg Asian games, Injury , Protest against federation) & perhaps our hope lies more in W than in M FS but who do you think among our men’s team has the best chance to win quota or medal at this world championships. You rate Aman highly but think Abakarov will win the bout, get the quota place & perhaps medal. Can we see anyone else in team get a surprise win / quota place?

Good day for , after quotas in Boxing earlier , they qualified their XD to Paris . XD FINAL Omar Assar & Dina Meshref won 3-1 & qualified for Olympics . EGYPT makes a clean sweep with quotas in Men’s Team , Women’s Team & not in XD .

Men’ s Team SF V V ** (WR 14) & (WR 35) really pushed much higher ranked (WR 2) & (WR 5) all the way. They nearly caused major upsets. Well played to them. Will have their chance in world qualifiers early next year. Women’s Team SF V V

Men’s 51 Kg Patrick Chinyemba qualifies for Olympics winning by KO against Zidi Men’s 63.5 KG Jugurtha Ait Bekka qualifies for Olympics by winning in split decision (4-1) against Colin Men’s 80 KG Abdelrahman Oraby qualifies for Olympics by winning convincingly 5-0 against Yusuf Men’s +92 KG Mourad Kadi qualifies for Olympics by winning in split decision (4-1) against Balde

Dzienski gets it in the 2nd run.

Got caught in the ropes and the Zambian landed a heavy punch on his right jaw, went down instantly. I was surprised to see a KO in Flyweight , you normally don’t get those. Although Patrick is heavily stocked for his weight class, must have a good punch in him.

Yes it was quite serious , lost his bearings after a KO blow by Patrick. Referee did well to call the medics urgently.

Olympic quota for Polska in speed (W) . All polish final between Miroslaw v A. Kalucka
