Olympic Champs Otoguro and Sadulaev didn't particiapte in weight-in today I was sure the Russian tank is too proud to wrestle for the bronze specially when he knows he is not ready and will lose to his arch rival therefore everybody in 97kg top 6 is already qualified which means

this is how R. Amouzad got robbed of a very probable gold medal. that's a very clear singlet grab by Musukaev before he scores the last takedown. it happened too fast maybe the ref didn't see it. Russian wrestlers have these dirty tricks and only very experienced refs can catch them cheating. Amouzad has to blame himself for that stupid challenge in the first period (he insisted on it even when the coach said no) it was a very easy call if they still had the challenge option. I hope he mentally recovers and win the bronze/quota tomorrow. I believe he is still the #1 in the world in this weight. he just needs to be less dumb sometimes

what a dramatic win for Kougioumtsidis coming back from being down 8-0 74kg quotas: @Makedonas congrats, to me he was the biggest surprise of this competition.

I don't think he will, he doesn't care about the quota , he can win it whenever he wants. I don't think he wrestles unless he is sure he can beat his archrival Snyder in the bronze medal match. he has a day to recover but knowing his mentality, I don't think so unless Russian coaches forces/begs him to do so. yeah that was bad luck for Goleij, he lost and also made Sadulaev very tired (eventually losing the next match) but I'm not much worried about 74kg and 97kg quotas. not much competition in Asia in these weights. I believe we will qualify eventually one way or another but of course it's always better to finish the job here, at the World Championship.

Uguev wins 4-0. 57kg quotas are :

and the match indeed lived up to expectations, what a match and Sidakov won after a dramatic last second failed challenge. well technically not failed but still 2-2 wasn't enough for Dake.

this can be the biggest match of the tournament Dake vs Sidakov interestingly they never wrestled until today, until right now

can't wait to watch Micic wrestling outside of Belgrade kind of interesting that since 2021 he never wrestled at 57kg outside of Belgrade. for the Europeans he wrestled at 65kg. and not even 61kg . there are some rumors since last year. we will know in Paris if they are correct or not. of course it's hard to believe (and honestly I still can't believe them myself) but you can see things with your own eyes when someone looks much bigger than the other guy. btw at least I was correct so far about 57kg quotas prediction 4 out 4 and if Uguev wins 5 out 5 . at least one correct prediction where the rest of my predictions were totally off

so it made it to international news hope the rest doesn't ! I mean people trying to enter his hotel etc. really embarrassing

well, this 92kg Kazakh guy who won the gold, lost a month ago in the World Junior Championship final to one of our guys, yet we sent someone else who was pathetic speaking of not sending the right guy (our #1 at 92kg who was the defending champion got injured and we had to send someone else, they just picked someone from 97kg making him cut weight, instead of sending our #2 in 92kg who was the same person who won the World Junior title) we could easily won both 79kg and 92kg golds but lost to our own stupid mistakes

I don't think so, he was just very tired, and his previous match against our guy drained his energy completely. he is still a great wrestler, but if you don't train properly you can't wrestle back to back matches, your body won't let you.

looks like we are going to start the Asian Games without a website ! that's new. I can't remember if it happened before. don't know if I have a match tomorrow or not. maybe something in beach volleyball ?

I can't think of another answer of course there are always an "explanation". faking documents etc. Qatar did that for years and have lots of foreign players in its basketball NT (while only 1 is allowed) until at some point in 2011 FIBA intervened and disqualified half of their team

and they probably cheat a lot because you can't hire more than 1 wrestler per style in one year. but they have a full team of Russians. how they managed to hire them at the same time ?

Sadulaev losing like that is last thing you can expect ! he was dead tired OK our 97kg is out too. what a terrible day . we will most probably end up with only 3 quotas. Bahrain is going to win a world title. years of hard work paid off (or hire a mercenary)

that's unbelievable. losing to a guy you can beat 10-0. stupid strategy when we know we are weak in defense . another match we lost in last 10 seconds

he is an average American wrestler , he is good but not that good. he was close to win the bronze last year if I'm not wrong but I don't think he can beat Tevanyan

he is surely an upgrade comparing to that piece of crap Martinetti (who was as corrupt as Tamas Ajan) there are some improvements, and I can give him credit for that. the officiating is better in general. but there are still lots of problems. for example everybody know 2019 World Championship draw was rigged by the host nation, they fixed that problem but never acknowledged it, there are still some other ways to cheat, I'm not going to tell more because I have no proof

The German is a tough guy, very hard to score on. from what I heard he won 2-0. which means 2 cautions probably Magomedov is a very good wrestler. so indeed surprising I'm not sure but looks the semifinals in Olypic weights are something like this 65kg Iran vs Hungary Armenia vs Puerto Rico 97kg Bahrain vs Russia/AIN Germany vs Georgia

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.

Goleij made a mistake. he had to take 1-2 steps back instead of facing Sadualev. there is a reason he is called "the tank" he is as strong as a tank. he wins these kind of positions 99 out of 100. but it's easier said than done, under that pressure your brain doesn't work properly. Goleij has a history of losing like that. he lost 2 years ago to Snyder despite leading 2-1 with less than 5 seconds on the clock

yep he was in Sydney too. not a great wrestler in his time. he is the head coach for the whole team but sometimes he sits in the corner to coach himself too. (I think only for Yazdani and Goleij) that's Magomed Isagadzhiev, 2002 World Silver medalist, one of the few people in the world who beat the great Saitiev. yes this is the first time ever to have a Russian coach. (or a foreign coach at all) as assistant though.

Pejman Dorostkar, 4th place World 1998 (the 2nd coach is a Russian, and yes we have a Russian coach this time !!!)

wow, just wow Goleij was 15 seconds away from beating the best wrestler of all time. f..ing 15 seconds and then that happened , the Russian Tank did what he always does. he has only 1 or 2 defeats in his entire career and after so many years he was an inch away from a defeat. now with Snyder out of the picture I hope Goleij can take the bronze and the quota at least. Amouzad also gave us a scare, a heart attack even. was leading 7-0 comfortably and then bang, he almost got pinned, hopefully he learns from this and dominate the "new" Musukaev like what he did last year. he is our last chance for another gold

it's hard to stay calm after these kind of officiating, fortunately Olympic well be held somewhere else and not in Lalovic's house.
