still, it's a valuable info knowing if an athlete is from  or , especially in sports like wrestling where both Nations have a strong tradition

 

let's the politicians do their job and just let's give the most comprehensive infos about sports to whoever's gonna read our forum

 

we also have full of pages and threads to discuss the argument and express our opinions, if and when we want to do it, there's really no need to make a political thing out of a small detail 

still possible to do this with AIN flag or without Russian flag like in official site and official documents. There is no Russia in team event classification.

 Bassa Mawem (speed climbing) is from New Caledonia in events represent France. I didn't see a New Caledonian flag on him. Do the same.

If I see correctly first races due to heavy wind and rain in 21.09.2023

Individuals cannot start in all-around event like somebody have Q in Balance Beam must start only in Balance Beam?

Always cheering for Serbian athletes.

Of course, i respect athletes from whole world. Fun fact - my personal hero in ski jumping is a Polish guy, one and only Adam Malysz.

That's so cool ;)! Thanks for answer.

Yeah, history just been written. 

His match was flawless. Whole tournament actually.

It was nie to see that you are from Montenegro and still proud if serbian achievement in sport or you have serbian roots?

Magomedov won against Thiele. 

but why it's 5:5

This guy from Puerto Rico is solid or it is suprise? 

I miss old UWW site ---- it was so easy to check results and schedule of next fights ;( 

1 minute ago, MHSN said:

apparently he won. but UWW site sucks and has no update and I was too excited during our own match and I forgot to watch other  mats. 

That's huge suprise if it is true. He looks so defensive with polish wrestler. 

Thiele lost?

Its clear, everyone here shouldnt be allowed to compete. My opinion was always the same.

Sport people should be above this. 

Banning whole nation is other thing. I am sure that there are many Russian athletes, wrestlers included, who oppose the war. 

 

probably in prison if they are against Putin

Even after 25-9 in fourth set? You never know with womens sport, especially in team sports, I believe that it was this one always one bad match during long tournament and now will play better and will be more motivated after troubles.

You saw the last matches with Turkey or now with Korea? Italy will win easily. Too many mistakes. 

Polish players play badly compared to the national league, many mistakes, ineffective attacks. The whole game depends on Stysiak... even with weaker players, we don't exist without her. Italy is a class better than our team even with this coach. We should do our best to save this good ranking

And nice road to lost second.  I told everyone everywhere US and Italy easy win here with quota.

Amazing job!!!! Gold for us!! 3:0 in Rome with Italy!!! TIME FOR OG MEDAL

Thats funny, because some places are from ranking and if one this team makes suprie, this strongest team could taks quota from ranking. So more than this 2 team from 4 could go to OG

so here are the quotas for tonight

 

86: 

125: 

 

these guys in repechage will try for the remaining 3 quotas tomorrow

 

86:

needs one win 

needs couple wins at least  / 

 

I think it's fair to say that 3 quotas will be between KAZ/UZB/SMR/BRN, only the Mongolian can change that

 

125:

needs one win 

needs couple wins at least  / 

 

no chance for PUR and I think BLR will beat Ligeti (HUN) or at least he has a better chance. that CAM wrestler is actually Iranian so it won't be walk in the park. last night I would considered Baran (POL) as favorite but Kurbanov (AIN) was better than my expectation

so I say 3 quotas will be between RUS/BLR/TUR/USA but POL and HUN can change that

Oh I thought you will take Ligety on this place.

  women's 87+kg Li Wenwen screwed and retired. So currently Chinese women's team would be undoubtedly 49kg Jiang Huihua, 71kg Liao Guifang, 81kg Liang Xiaomei. 

ah I thought you will skip this category (-81kg)

Good start for Germany. Easy win.

Geno is not the same great Champion we knew. he almost lost to the Russian, had problems even against Cambodia (which is a 10th tier Iranian wrestler) in the first round

 

Parris did good specially in his first match. I think it will be 50/50. if Geno gets a chance on top . he can still beat anybody in the world 10-0 by his fantastic gut-wrenches. but he is physically in a terrible shape. 

I saw his match with Baran, he seems to be in terrible phisical condition compare what I saw from him earlier. Parris looks more fresh... I hope for one repechage. 

Just now, MHSN said:

hmm, not really. these 2 guys at 86kg and 125kg are our bests, their quota was 99% guaranteed. can't say the same about other Olympic weights unfortunately. 2-3 more quotas will be a good result

 

and actually people here are a bit upset because H. Yazdani didn't look good. he used to finish his matches 10-0 in 2 minutes. that didn't happen today and he had troubles even against a guy from Australia !!!   his match vs Taylor is something like a Messi vs Ronaldo thing here. 

 

61kg defeat was quite upsetting, this guy sucks big time, but at least we had a positive surprise at 70kg. he was terrible recently, nobody expected too much from him. (and yes we do care alot about the non-Olympic weights too )

you know, always good to have quota on 1st event. For me you will get it. But this guy from Uzbekistan looks so good here.

Next tournaments could be stressuful. This period for your top wrestlers could be more calm than going and prepare for next events before OG.

Petriashvili has a chance with Parris?

Good day for Iran - probably with 2 quota.

Then Dzienski should qualify, I believe.

 

One of Kałucka's should qualify too.

For Kalucka easy.But for Marcin will be super difficult, you have Asia there (Indonesia,Japan,Kazachstan, Iran, China and the rest of Europe Ukraine, France, UK, Germany, Spain, Italy)
