our friend had wrestled at the Pan American Championship few days ago , it was round robin with 5 wrestlers, which means you can watch him 4 times even though the total time is still less than one wrestling match
 
he is not facing Jordan Burroughs or Rashid Saulaev , his opponents are also not that good but everything he does is 100% wrong he is not just "weak" he doesn't even know a thing about wrestling, I really think he doesn't know he should not be in on his back

free quota for Peru as expected, Artur didn't even show up. he was just there to ruin Baez's chance but I guess Argentina doesn't care anymore.

wow ! wow what a win for Argentina.
 
it seems you really can't be 100% sure about anything in sports
 
Retherford really underestimated his opponent , made a dumb mistake and the Argentinian used his chance, probably his only chance in that match. what a pleasant surprise

And we go, new numbers for today
 
 
Active cases 20.603 (+2.853) Death 1809 (+368) Recovered 2335 (+369) Total cases: 24.747 (+3590)

I'm quire sure this guy from Barbados at 74kg never wrestled before. I wonder if he even watched wrestling before   he was the worst wrestler I ever seen
 
the other wrestler is no better, I wonder if Barbados knew which sport is participating.
 
but I believe quota is possible for Jamaica from that part, first time in wrestling maybe ? that guy is American and relatively good. will be interesting to see who between Argentina, Jamaica or Peru wins the quota.

For this case several TV operators here have made pay-TV available to people by April for free, so many people just sit in front of their TV 

hmmm, empty streets, what a lovely sight !
 
I have to say in my neighborhood it's more or less the same, streets are almost empty but when you go some parts of the city it's like any other normal day. Tehran reported Saturday as "the most crowded" day since the start of Coronavirus !, it seems even some of those people who were careful got bored of staying at home and went back to the streets

people here exactly think the opposite. something like how these guys do that without water. oooogghhh

Most Chinese believe in the government. Because we can see the measures taken to contain the spread and effort made both by medics and government. It happened on us, not just reported by media. Most measures are very strict but effective in this special moment, like lockdown, mandatory quarantine and definitely no any forms of gathering. The cover-up at the very beginning is stupid, the shortage of medical resource of Wuhan at the early phase is troublesome and worrying, but the strong actions taken next proved working well. The virus is contained and most patients are already recovered. People outside Hubei province are back to normal life now. We experienced a silent February and everything paused for one and half month. But people think the sacrifice is worth it. 
 
All in all, people do not fear now and things back to normal gradually. People think government did wrong at the beginning but measures taken to contain it is very effective. Considering no one knows the degree of severity and infectivity at the beginning, people think government did a good job in general. 
 
One more thing, the reason why overseas Chinese flee back to China is that they think people overseas underrated the severity. The ignorance would lead to great outbreak later.

Well yeah we don't use the backward technology called toilet papers over here

53 kg and 57 kg looked to be injured for sure in the preliminary rounds. Don't know about the other two

Last night we had only 3 withdrawals if I'm not wrong but tonight the second session was one of the most bizarre wrestling sessions, we had no real gold medal match at all ! out of 14 matches listed for second session, (6 finals and 8 bronze medal matches) 9 of them didn't happen and someone won by walkover  I guess only Canadian wrestlers showed up completely mostly because they were the host.
 
I wonder what happened since last night that the number of withdrawals increased massively this is interesting because in wrestling you can't simply withdraw ! you need medical proof that you are injured. of course everybody knows the real reason and it's mostly UWW's fault for even having these senseless finals but still rules are rules. I assume since UWW wasn't strict last night with 3 withdrawals, everybody decided to not show up tonight
 
imagine what will happen if UWW decides to act seriously and disqualify all of these fake injured wrestlers all 4 American wrestlers withdrew from the final, Team USA doctor had a busy afternoon making fake excuses or fake injuries

only probably ?   
 
I assume we have a bit more than 2 hours left ?

oops my computer shows today is 15 March but I didn't notice that's only because we are past midnight here, so nevermind, 24 hours is more than enough for me

All of them was part of the same country in "the beggining", Gran Colombia was that country.

Just some data:
 
Active case 17.750 Death 1441 (+175) Recovered 1996 (+557) Total case 21157 (+3497)

well  you never can be 100% sure about anything in sports but I can tell you that's 99% not possible. he has Retherford in his bracket , Retherford most probably will run over him. men's freestyle is more predictable
 
but I somehow think Bermudez got robbed today, I was looking both mats at the same time and I really didn't understand what happened, Bermudez threw Castillo for 4 and was about to pin her but the center ref stopped the match for a reason I'm not sure if I understood. a second before the throw mat chairman told the center ref to "stop" to probably warn one of the wrestlers for passivity but the match is stopped only when the center ref below the whistle so to me that throw was legit and they should let her continue the action which was most probably pinning Castillo.

indeed  they really should won at least 2 quotas. I don't know what happened to Valverde , Cuban girl was weaker than her but she woke up very late,
 
also very bad tournament for Venezuela and also Colombia (despite winning 1 quota) not a good weekend for countries with similar flags

WOW. what a surprising quota for Mexico  Morais did the same mistake 3 times, she escaped twice but finally Valencia pinned her.
 
that probably made up for Romero's heart breaking defeat in last 2 seconds,

wow. what a match 97kg final I'm glad they didn't cancel the finals. you rarely see such high scoring match in this level between two World level wrestlers specially at heavyweight. Cuba won 11-8 but Hancock threw him for 4 to win it 12-11 which later annulled because it was a moment after 0:00

Yes. There's no easy way out of this mess now. In my opinion, prize money and medals should be distributed based on the results of qualifications. Not the ideal scenario, but it's still better than nothing for the gymnasts. Points for Olympic qualification, though, is a way more complicated matter. If they award points based on qualifications, there will still be hope for Petrounias. If they cancel the results altogether, Petrounias will be out of the Olympics. Not to mention Kheika, Urara and other gymnasts who heavily relied on this stage to make it to the Olympics.
 

You mean the final tomorrow ? wow I thought you are talking about the final World Cup event.
cancelling the event in middle of it is nonsense, it doesn't change anything,

to give you an answer, I refer to an interview I heard from one of Afghan top health officials. he was worried that people in Afghanistan don't take those advises seriously. that they are in big trouble but still nobody knows that. he said Iran has a "very very strong" health system and look how much trouble they have right now. if they consider our health system very very strong. you can imagine how good they are.
 
as far as I know so many people from Iraq and Afghanistan come to Iran for medical treatment. even though in this case I believe this is more about management rather than having very good doctors. but mismanagement in Afghanistan is pretty common. they are even worse than us.
 
I guess you guys don't follow the news (who does these days) but Afghanistan is deeply in trouble politically, two guys announced themselves president at the same day !! and the president "had" to sign an order releasing 5000 Taliban members (against people's wish) just because USA ordered them to do. right now Corona is not really their concern, and that's very dangerous.
