@thepharoah you won another quota in 97kg , by a 15-3 win or somethingl ike that but it could end up disastrously for El Ders, he got stuck on his own gut wrench and almost got pinned

that was the most dramatic match of evening so far, 4-4 win and quota for Australia but I kind of feel sad for the Nigerian guy with that long surname, he surely has the natural talent , just doesn't know how to score. lack of international experience

I'm sure all wrestling commentors will cheer for Australia in the next match, Onovwiomogbohwo is not someone you want to talk about

your guy won it easily he is probably the best freestyle wrestler in Africa at the moment, his quota was almost guaranteed even before the competition

2nd quota for GBS , this time 74kg they had 3 FS wrestlers and won 2 quota. almost perfection it could be 3 though

and quota for Samoa one mistake from GBS guy and his back is pinned to the mat. it was a close match before this action

first quota for and that was quite easy Egypt took the other 57kg quota, only in this weight the top 2 seeds were indeed the top two wrestlers.

@phelps what was wrong with your guys ? did they try to lose intentionally ? I mean it looked like they are not moving on purpose to take the hit. I know nobody cares about 5th-8th places anymore but still that was weird. or maybe they wanted to finish this ASAP to go watch the other piste between GER and KOR

that was indeed very easy because that was a walkover

quota matches in men's freestyle 57kg: vs / vs 65kg: vs / vs 74kg: vs / vs 86kg: vs / vs 97kg: vs / vs 125kg: vs / vs all 3 GBS wrestlers made it to the SF and I think all 3 of them have a good chance to win. really surprised by this Samoan wrestler, he beat Egypt 10-0!!

UWW is just great they are having 3rd place match for 76kg (and yesterday they had it for two weights) because they have a different format when we have 6 or 7 wrestlers (two groups. crossover semifinals) but why it's different than other weights (no 3rd place match when we have 8 or more) ? I don't know but OK I understand they are having this in case someone withdraws or fails a drug test. but there is one very funny point here. based on their own rules. when less than 8 wrestlers register, the quota won't be reallocated to the next wrestlers, it will become a wild card. so what the hell is this 3rd place match about ?

Guinea Bissau is strong favorite for 57 and 74kg quotas. beside that I don't think so

she lost by fall the score doesn't matter

yes. while she was "dominating" the match, she gave up lots of big throws and at the end lost by fall/pin in one of them. the score was 10-8 before the last action and she was attacking (and could score more than enough to win) with a better tactic she could end the match 10-0

got pinned in a match she could dominate but she didn't

not sure what's New Zealand's policy (stupid policy IMO) in wrestling but they won a surprising quota (if they don't reject it later)

no heart attack therefore the Nigerian finished the match in less than 30 seconds

a last minute takedown to win the second quota for Guam I think they are in the same weight, but one of them had to make the sacrifice and go to the next weight. it was the other way around in Tokyo , this time it worked for both of them

and quota for Guam, first sister won

that was a very stupid way to lose the match and the quota she just let her opponent to score (probably she thought the ref already stopped the match but he didn't) first defeat for Nigeria and first quota for Egypt

I'm no expert in women's wrestling but since i watched the morning session I think Cameroon is probably the favorite for that quota as for Cape Verde, I think she can only hope the Nigerian girl suffers a heart attack or something before the match, I mean accidents happen but she needs more than just a miracle to qualify but never say never

quota matches in women's wrestling 50kg: vs and vs 53kg: vs and vs 57kg: vs and vs 62kg: vs and vs 68kg: vs and vs 76kg: vs and vs realistic chance for Aquino sisters to win quota(s) for Guam.

perfect 100% record for Algeria, they won 5 out of 5 quotas. for whatever reason they have nobody at 130kg (they had someone but he lost by default, which means he was either absent or overweight) 5 for 4 2 and only 1 for and Morocco won a quota only because EGY already qualified that weight and ALG had no entry. someone had to win that stray quota

that was the ugliest match ever and almost ended with a fight, lots of cautions, lots of head butting I'm really surprised by Egypt's poor performance here. they are winning quotas but they already lost one and in 3 other matches (60, 77 and now 87) it went to a late big throw for a comeback. (better opponents won't let you score like that) Egypt was supposed to dominate this competition in Greco-Roman.

Comoros was very close to win a very surprising quota , leading 5-2 with 1 minute to go but his defense was terrible, he was standing wrongly the whole time and finally gave up a 4pts throw, he had this coming and I was sure it will happen sooner or later.
