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

Also  wrestlers beat  by fall very easily, not common in men's wrestling I believe.

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 ?

tomorrow can we hope for quotas for “small delegations olympic ”?

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

yes 14-8

she lost by fall

the score doesn't matter

Just now, thepharoah said:

So she lost right ?

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

Did Samar Amer in -76 kg won or lost ? @MHSN

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)

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

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

And Cameroon , Cape Verde Palaos ?

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.

Right so basically a lucky draw or they may consider Asiad performances ?

none !

3 tournaments should be considered for the seeding, 2023 Worlds, 2024 Zagreb Open and 2024 Asian Championships. 

they could show the seeding right now (like they did with other continents) but that wasn't final since the Asian Champ will happen later, so this time they decided to not show the seeding until it's final.

But if wrestlers are different will the nations get that seed or fresh draw

seeds belong to the wrestlers, not the country.

only few wrestlers in each weight are going to both events but still they can change the seeding if they do good at the Asian Champs but most of them are weak and won't be able to do that. top countries send two different teams

@MHSN can Mostafa Hussein still qualify in -67 kg from world qualification tournament or we must enter Mohamed Ibrahim as well 

You can enter whoever you want, no restriction

but it's hard to cross the name of an Olympic medalist off. I still would send him even though he was surprisingly terrible today

they didn't write the seeding this time, obviously because we will have the Asian Champs one weak earlier

that was a very quick session, most of the matches finished in the first period

quota matches in Greco-Roman

60kg: vs and vs

67kg: vs and vs

77kg: vs and vs

87kg: vs and vs

97kg: vs and vs

130kg: round robin,  and  99.99% qualified

I see lots of wrestlers registered for both Greco and FS competitions and some of them simply just withdrew ! they probably tried their chance to see if they get a super easy draw in Greco (and withdrew when they didn't)

only 3 wrestlers are actually competing at 130kg (4 registered, 3 of them are in freestyle too, 1 withdrew) 

first surprise of the day and probably the biggest one. Mohammad El Sayed the only Olympic medalist in this competition just lost to  Nasr, and it wasn't just an accident, the Tunisian guy really deserved it
