Sharp eyes so here is the list, based on that table, we have 42 "sports" here. While Esports is a part of "mind sports" , they considered Dragon boat separately but that's usually counted under ICF events. I don't know where they are going to put Dancesport (breaking) to make it 40 sports as planned it seems Cycling BMX is only BMX racing, no BMX freestyle as far as I understand but based on that table, this is the final list of sports and disciplines. 1. Ahletics 2. Tennis (Tennis and Soft Tennis) 3. Aquatics (Artistic Swimming, Diving, Swimming, Water Polo and Marathon Swimming) 4. Cycling (Track, MTB, Road, BMX) 5. Triathlon 6. Archery 7. Shooting (Rifle/Pistol, Running Target and Shotgun) 8. Modern Pentathlon 9. Rowing 10. Canoe/Kayak (Slalom and Sprint) 11. Dragon Boat 12. Badminton 13. Basketball (Basketball and 3x3 Basketball) 14. Boxing 15. Mind Sports (Chess, Go, Xiangqi, Bridge and Esports) 16. Fencing 17. Football 18. Golf 19. Gymnastics (Artistic, Rhythmic, Trampoline) 20. Handball 21. Table Tennis 22. Hockey 23. Judo 24. Ju-Jitsu 25. Kurash 26. Kabaddi 27. Wushu 28. Roller Sports (Roller Skating, Skateboard) 29. Rugby 7s 30. Sepaktakraw 31. Squash 32. Taekwondo 33. Wrestling 34. Karate 35. Volleyball (Indoor and Beach) 36. Sailing 37. Weightlifting 38. Equestrian 39. Cricket 40. Baseball/Softball (Baseball and Softball) 41. Sport Climbing 42. Dance Sport (Breaking)

and I can see Bridge too ! and 10 seconds of googling confirmed that http://www.worldbridge.org/2020/10/02/bridge-included-in-the-asian-olympic-games-2022/ in that program, they considered Esports as part of the Chess/Go/Xiangqi/Bridge program as one sport I can't read the name. board games maybe - so from 2018 program, they only dropped Bowling, Pencak silat, Sambo, Jet Ski and Paragliding. Bowling had its debut in 1978 and was in AG program since 1994.

oh well, Esports and Breaking ! btw this pics show the draft for the AG programme, apparently with the number of events and disciplines for each sport but it's unreadable ! (or maybe that number is not the number of events but the number of days for each sport) The OCA says they already had 40 sports, it should be 42 now, right ?! because it seems they didn't drop any sport. how hard it is to publish the details of events ? or at least the number of them for each sport even my not-so-sharp eyes can see "soft tennis", "marathon swimming" and "running target shooting events", Dragon boat, roller skating in the program as separate disciplines. I wasn't sure about Soft Tennis (which will be part of Tennis once again) and it will be Marathon swimming's debut.

Bronze for and it wasn't some lucky draw, he had a tough draw actually and he beat 3 quality guys to win this bronze. I'm very surprised by how much he is improved. unbelievable

Russia took 4 golds today and I think they will win 4 more tomorrow, 8 out of 10 and the other 2 guys lost the gold mostly because they got injured but that's OK, because other Russian wrestlers (representing Poland and Hungary) will win the gold. 74kg was the most interesting final, that was a nice action near the end from Zhamalov. you always have to lead by more than 2pts against a Russian wrestler, they are just too good. this Zhamalov guy is in the mix now, with Sidakov and Gazimagomedov. I still think Sidakov is the better choice. good bronze medal for Amouzad against someone almost twice his age (33 to 18) but he really needs to change his style, you can't do exactly the same against everybody. they will learn how to adjust and Russian coaches are just perfect in analyzing opponents. also I'm very impressed by Argentinian Destribats it seems his Olympic qualification wasn't just an accident. he beat a world bronze medalist from India here. when was the last time an Argentinian male wrestler beat a former world medalist ? I think it never happened before

yeah I guess Bulgaria came a bit late, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Slovakia and even Poland and France took the better Russians first and let's not forget Azerbaijan ! (Azerbaijan can't pay big money anymore though)

the level of freestyle competition is bit lower comparing to Greco. simply because Europe is strong in Greco and we had more European wrestlers in this competition comparing to other continents. Chamizo-Zhamalov will be the most interesting match for tomorrow. hard to say who is the favorite. and Russia will have 4 in the final. they were undefeated today the 5th guy withdrew for injury probably and Amouzad had a good match vs Uguev. he was competing with the World Champion but made a mistake and got pinned. I really think in a year or two he will be able to compete for the world title. but I don't think he will be ready for Tokyo and beside that considering his age his body will grow and he has to wrestle at 61kg or 65kg. a VERY interesing point about 65kg bracket, Haji Aliyev and Gadzhimurad Rashiov will wrestle right in the first round! the last time they faced Aliyev ended up angry throwing everything to the refs this will be fun

nice try this time 100% correct, yes he is known exactly as "Rahman Amouzad" here and nothing else. while UWW lists him as Rahman Mousa AMOUZADKHALILI as I said he is suppose to be the next big thing, he is already very popular for someone at the age of 18!

for a second I thought Chamizo is going to lose to the Turk, he was down 6-1 but then he changed gear and ate him alive ! everybody expects a Chamizo-Zhamalov final. Zhamalov won the Russian nationals surprisngly. if he wins gold here he will have a chance for Tokyo. he didn't face the world champion Sidakov but beat the guy who beat Sidakov. (I mean Tsabolov) we have only one wrestler in the freestyle competition, 18 years old Amouzad who teched his opponents so far but will have an uphill task this afternoon against the World Champion Uguev. so many people here consider Amouzad the future Olympic champion, the next big thing. he won the World Youth title last year and this is still too early for him to beat likes of Uguev but that will be a very good chance for him to face such a quality wrestler.

both. they were always good in lower weights. they rarely win medals in world level but they are always "close" now with less medal contenders, they can finish on the podium.

the wrestling database tells us that she only wrestled for Slovakia in her entire career and never achieved anything special until today. even though even here she only beat Peru to reach the semifinal. and yes Salkazanov, Gulaev, Makoev they are all listed in the entry list for the freestyle competition. and this tournament is a replacement for the cancelled World Championship.

I think we should stop complaining about the refs, what happens to Armenian wrestlers is much much worse. they got robbed a gold and a bronze today. and this is not even a very important event Maskevich made my day by destroying the Olympic champion. as for the Iranian wrestlers, Saravi had a good and close fight with the World Champion, he lost because of that 2points caution nobody knew where it came from! and Nouri lost the bronze medal match to his own mistakes, he did the same mistake 6 times! that's unbelievable. Vlasov still has it. he is nothing special in the standing position but man he can throw anybody. his throws are fantastic. I expect Russia to win all 5 golds tomorrow, none of them are facing a huge challenge. one of our freestyle guys is Coronavirus infected and I assume the other guy will test positive soon. so our small team is already down to 3 (and probably 2)

Today semifinals 60kg: Uyar vs Sharshenbekov / Maryanyan vs Fris 63kg: Torba vs Djebbari / Lokyaev vs Sulaimanov 82kg: Alirzaev vs Bradu / Schwarz vs Aydin 97kg: Omarov vs Szoke / Saravi vs Evloev 87kg: Yildrim vs Kandelaki / Semenov vs Ovasapyan I think Russia is capable of winning all 5 gold medals in these weights. they are all huge favorites . it's highly possible for Russia to finish the GR competition with 9 gold medals! glad to see Saravi in the SF, this will be great opportunity for him to face the world champion but his QF match vs Kakhelashvili could go either way, he was lucky that the Italian received the 3rd caution. they both failed to score and the refs HAD to pick one as winner, this time he was lucky but we usually lose matches like this. there is nothing to be proud of in these kind of wins . this is why I hate guys like Nabi or Kudla. but I'm glad he was able to stand against such a strong guy like Nikoloz (I consider him one of the favorites for the OG medal)

Agree in Iran we always use double elimination format for most of our local wrestling tournaments (specially for the trials) but it also has its own problems. sometimes we have 3 guys left after beating each other ! and in this case the winner will be decided by minor details, I think nobody wants that. there is no perfect system but if they want to use this direct elimination format, they have to improve their seeding system. Judo and Taekwondo managed to have a decent ranking system but for wrestling their ranking is more like a joke. still better than nothing though

I thought you hacked into some government servers to find that information and I wonder why Olympic schedule should be considered confidential ? but well if breakdance is an Olympic sport, nothing else surprises me anymore

Evloev beat the great Artur 5-1, no technical point it was all cautions. Artur somehow flee the mat on parterre and I think he deserved the caution. he was very angry at the end. I'm not sure if he comes back to wrestle for bronze tomorrow. (assuming Evloev will go to the final) I was expecting more from two of best Greco wrestlers in the world but the thing is, scoring is really hard in high level matches in Greco-Roman specially in heavier weights.

they are both in top 16 of the world obviously and technically deserve to qualify but well wrestling (and sport in general) is not always about what do you deserve. there is a seeding system but that's not working properly and both Vlasov and Nemes will be unseeded. and they are not the only favorites in the competition. the German guy who almost beat Vlasov is good, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Turkey, Belarus, Ukraine they are all good enough to upset one of those two guys. but there will be one last chance in Bulgaria too. Nemes and Vlasov have to finish in top 2 in one of these tournaments. (EQT in HUN or last WQT in BUL) same goes to all wrestlers not qualified yet including the Iranians ! but our job is a BIT easier because the Asian qualifier is not as hard as the European one. still much much harder than other continents.

there is a "Confidential" mark on top of each PDF file. hopefully they are not going to arrest Sindo (or you) for that.

only top 2. that's why the draw matters a LOT. you can be the 2nd best guy in the competition and still face the best guy before the final and fail to qualify.

Finals: 55kg: Sefershaev vs Kilic 67kg: Dadov vs Abdullaev 72kg: Amoyan vs Korpasi 77kg: Vlasov vs Levai 87kg: Maskevich vs Chakvetadze I expect Russia to win 4 golds tomorrow, they just take this event seriously like a World Championship. Nouri was really disappointing today, even in his 2 wins. 87kg is relatively weak in Asia but with this performance I'm not even sure if he qualifies the weight, of course the situation wasn't normal because of the COVID and Nouri himself spent few days in the hospital and based on the news (which I have hard time to believe) his situation was critical at some point. 77kg SF between Vlasov and Nemes was controversial. the Serbian coach should get a red card and disqualification if it wasn't in Serbia. even though I think that last caution against Nemes wasn't really fair but Nemes himself won so many matches by dubious cautions like this. both Nemes and Vlasov are not qualified yet, it's 50% chance for them to be in the same half at the European qualifier.

Semifinals are set 55kg: Dordokov vs Sefershaev / Deleanu vs Kilic 67kg: Politaiev vs Dadov / Ibragimov vs Abdullaev 72kg: Arslan vs Amoyan / Korpasi vs Mnatsakanian 77kg: Nemes vs Vlasov / Levai vs Zeinalov 87kg: Maskevich vs Datunashvili / Nouri vs Chakvetadze ---------------------- olympic champion Davor Stefanek took of his shoes and left them on the middle of the mat after losing to Abdullaev in 67kg quarterfinal. that means retirement. a bit weird only 7 months before the Olympics.

I didn't know Davor Stefanek is capable of such throws, his throws against Stas (Bulgaria) were fantastic. let's see what he can do against Russia in the next round. and Azerbaijan losing to Algeria in wrestling is something new Olympic champion Vlasov also just survived the German guy Eisele. he has to beat Chalyan and Nemes today if he wants to make it to the final.

that's the 4th match of tomorrow on Mat A. something around 11:30 am (Belgrade time) the competition starts on 11
