Greco-Roman quotas
 
60kg: 
67kg: 
77kg: 
87kg: 
97kg: 
130kg: 
 
I'm usually more confident in my freestyle predictions but this time it was the opposite.  I could be 100% correct, just one match in 97kg went the other way, where the Korean somehow stole a 7-7 win against China. 
 
we managed to win the two remaining quotas to have a full Greco team in Paris but it was very close. both of them had to come from behind. Kaviani was 5-0 down but somehow scored 6pts. still it was a poor performance. but I'm glad with two quotas.

both of our guys made it to the SF but that was a very poor performance , I just hope they do better in the afternoon (like what the freestyle team did)
 
don't get too excited to see likes of KSA, TPE or JOR in the SF. they were just lucky with the draw

They can qualify 2 because both of them won the gold medal. (which was necessary for them)
 
 
 
so I think this is it
 
M1X: 
W1X: 
LM2X: 
LW2X: 

Iran and  Taipei won gold and silver in MC1-1000 and two quotas
 
 UZB won gold in MK1-1000, KAZ finished 2nd but can't win another quota here, therefore that goes to the 3rd place  Iran

Zokirova and  Nguyen won gold and silver in women's C1-200 and qualify
 
two more finals left

I am still fond how people who don't like sports are working overtime today to spam the forum.

This is UWW after all, you shouldn't ask for logic 
 
I wrote something about it during the African qualifiers. they want to have a true 3rd place finisher in case something happens to top 2. they do it only for weights with 6 or 7 entries (two groups format)
 
but this is funny because per rules. if less than 8 wrestlers participate. there will be no reallocation and if someone withdraws (or something else) the quota transfers to become a wild card.

here are the quotas, max 2 quotas for everybody

and he didn't  
 
Abdullaev had the perfect tactic for this match, attaching Aman with everything he has in first 2-3 minutes to finish the match early. he knew Aman will eat him alive in the 2nd period
 
57kg quotas go to   and 

The first session was a nightmare, we lost just one match but it could be easily 3.  all 3 of them were just a shadow of themselves. obviously something went wrong in their preparations 
 
we knew we are weak at 57kg but that was wow. Mohammadnejad lost 14-3 to a guy from Mongolia!  that was his golden chance and he threw it away, he won't see the national team forever or at least not anytime soon. 
 
Emami was shaky and gave up lots of points in scrumbles. still his opponent was old and finally gassed.
but Azarpira almost lost to the Japanese-Iranian Yoshida. the final score 9-1 is completely misleading. Yoshida had the control for the entire match and Azarpira had to rely on his counter attacks. he was dead after 2-3 minutes and I don't know how he survived Yoshida.
 
I'm not confident at all about the afternoon matches, but they have time to recover and think about what they did in the morning.
 
here are the semifinals
 
57:  vs  /  vs 
65:  vs  /  vs 
74:  vs  /  vs 
86:  vs  /  vs 
97:  vs  /  vs 
125:  vs  /  vs 

Countries with more than 2 boats in the finals
 
 4
 3
 
I don't think Indonesia can qualify more than 2 but Japan and Uzbekistan most probably will reach their limit numbers and we will see reallocation. highly likely in W1X final because the Russian mercenary of UZB will win the gold and Japan has to give up the quota.
 
in M1X I expect Uzbekistan to give up the quota (they will pick the Russian and one of LW2) so I assume everybody in M1X final is already qualified
 
  
nobody  read above

M1X finalists, 6 boats for 5 quotas but reallocation is highly possible if one NOC wins more than 2 boat quotas. 
 

 
W1X finalists

Today we had only one important final. WK1-500
 
China won the gold but can't win another quota. therefore  and  qualify

good day for Kazakhstan, they won both remaining double quotas
