the advantage of being WR no.1...
in the women's -48kg class, Scutto has to face the winner of Tsunoda vs Boukhli already in the semis (not to mention that the Japanese and the French girl have to face each other already in the quarterfinals)
in the women's -52kg, Uta Abe is not among the seeded players (top 8)
good luck to any other girl for the draw
in the women's -57kg, vs Funakubo in the quarters and then Deguchi in the semis...draw really unbalanced
the big duel vs is gonna happen quite a few times in the quarterfinals
in the women's -78kg, Wagner and Takayama in the same quarter and in the opposite half of Bellandi...that's good, very good for us
in the women's +78kg, Dicko and Tomita on the opposite side of the draw...unfortunately Tavano is 8th and will get the French super-woman in the quarterfinals (however, she already beat Dicko at last year's world champs...who knows?)
in the men's -60kg, vs and vs in the same half of the draw...good for those on the opposite side
in the men's -66kg (RUS) Murad Chopanov is the last qualified athlete...he's just another mega-danger in draw
in the men's -73kg, Hashimoto and Shavdatuashvili are also in the same quarterfinal pool
in the men's -81kg, Casse vs Nagase is the most fascinating quarterfinal on paper
in the men's -90kg, the idiot Parlati will pay a very big prize to his attitude...he's gone down to 8th place (by the misery of 8 points) and now he's in the same quarterfinal pool with Bekauri...let's see if another wasted Olympic tournament will be useful by 2028
in the men's super-Heavyweights, Riner is in the same quarter with Tasoev and semi with Saito...he's gonna have to win gold way before the final match
and the Olympic Champion Krpalek is not among the seeded players...the draw might make things very, very interesting
