awful day #1 for Italy... the girls of the Team Pursuit were only 4th in the qualification ride, but a lot slower than their usual times...and therefore tomorrow they won't have any chance to match the very strong Austrlian quartet in the semifinal round... luckily the US girls did show up with a sort of B-Team (no Chloe Dygert, among others) and didn't get anything more than a modest 7th place, leaving Italy still among the top 4... in the men's Team Pursuit, one of our riders fell down in the early laps, so the team had to ride the entire race with only 3 men and therefore they got boiled in the last Km and ended up in a shameful 10th place, which means that we just cant compete even for a consolation bronze (top performers in the qualification ride were once again Australia, with a good but not so amazing 3.52.something...and ITA have a 3.53.1 record)... finally, the women's Scratch race...the Italian starter was Martina Fidanza, who won the last 2 world cup races... and approachinmg the final lap she was in perfect position to try her sprint finish, but the Belgian D'Hoore decided to make an hazardous move and made many riders (Fidanza included) fall down... and because the world is full of injustice, she still managed to win the Bronze Medal... meanwhile the first Gold of the Championships went to Barker ahead of Wild... tonight there are also 2 more Medal Finals, the Team Sprint events... and among the women, it's gonna be AUS vs RUS for Gold ( GER vs MEX for Bronze)... meanwhile the men's deciders will be NED vs FRA for Gold and GER vs RUS for Bronze

not yet... looking at schedule, it's happening right now...

Dan Kolov Freestyle Preview Four Olympic gold medalists and reigning world champion Geno PETRIASHVILI (GEO) will take the mat at the Monbat Sports Park Arena in Ruse, Bulgaria, to compete in the Dan Kolov-Nikola Petrov tournament, United World Wrestling’s second freestyle and women's wrestling Ranking Series event of the 2019 season. The four Olympic champions entered into this week’s four-day tournament are Taha AKGUL (TUR), Jordan BURROUGHS (USA), Kyle SNYDER (USA), and Hassan YAZDANI (IRI). Two-time world champion Geno Petriashivili, along with fellow returning Dan Kolov champions Frank CHAMIZO (ITA) and Vladimir DUBOV (BUL) will try to defend their titles from a year ago. For Petriashvili and Chamizo to repeat as Dan Kolov gold medalists, they’ll each have to go through an Olympic champion and multiple world medalists. Chamizo vs. Burroughs Round 4? The road for Italy's two-time world champion and Olympic bronze medalist Frank Chamizo to defend his 74kg Dan Kolov title could head through his biggest rival, Jordan Burroughs. The pair of worldwide superstars are no strangers to each other and have sparked one of the most intriguing rivalries in recent memory since Chamizo bumped up to 74kg last year. If they were to meet this weekend, it would be their fourth meeting in the last twelve months. Burroughs, the four-time world and Olympic champion, scored the come-from-behind win in their first meeting at last May's Beat the Streets in New York City. Then, Chamizo returned the favor, knotting up the rivalry at one match a piece when he grabbed the 10-10 victory over Burroughs at the Yasar Dogu. Most recently, Burroughs gained the 2-1 match advantage when he came out on top in the Budapest World Championships bronze-medal bout, 4-4.

Two-time world champion Geno Petriashvili will be looking to defend his 125kg Dan Kolov title from a season ago, too. For the Georgian big-man to repeat as a Dan Kolov champion, he’ll have to potentially defeat his biggest rival, Olympic champion Taha Akgul, and each of the three other 125kg Budapest world medalists. China’s DENG Zhiwei (CHN) was last year’s runner-up, while Parviz HADI (IRI) and Nicholas GWIAZDOWSKI (USA) finished with the pair of bronze medals.

The Iranian superstar is coming off winning his fourth straight medal at the world championships or Olympic games. Yazdani fell short in the 2015 world finals but rebounded to reach the top of the podium at the Rio Olympics and Paris World Championships. He dropped his opening-round bout of the 2018 world championships to eventual champion David TAYLOR (USA) (Taylor will not be wrestling this weekend) but bounced back to win a Budapest bronze. To win his first Ranking Series event, Yazdani “The Greatest” will have to upend Rio runner-up Selim YASAR (GEO) and 2017 world finalist Boris MAKOEV (SVK). Yazdani has not met Yasar during his time at 86kg but did defeat Makeov 10-0 in the finals of the 2017 world finals to win his first world title.

Two-time world and Rio Olympic champion Kyle Snyder returns to action after suffering back-to-back losses in the world finals and the opening round of the Ivan Yariguin, United World Wrestling’s first Ranking Series event. Snyder, who’s the second-ranked wrestler at 97kg, went to Krasnoyarsk’s Ivan Yariguin with hopes of erasing the memory of the 2018 world finals where he was stuck by Abdulrashid SADULAEV (RUS) in the opening period but instead lost his second straight match when he was stunned in the first round by Russia's Rasul MAGOMEDOV.

The 24-year-old brings 25 Ranking Series points into the Dan Kolov and is ranked fourth in the world at 57kg. He’s the lone returning world medalist but isn’t the highest ranked wrestler competing at 57kg. The above mentioned Gilman finished with a bronze medal at the Ivan Yariguin and jumped Atli in the world rankings, where he currently sits in the third spot with 32 Ranking Series points.

Rahimi underwent knee surgery and took nearly two years off before wrestling at 61kg for Team Bimeh Razi Babol at the 2018 World Clubs Cup. “I had knee surgery after the Rio Olympic Games, and I missed out on wrestling for about two years. I am very happy to be competing again. I love wrestling, and it is like blood in my vessel,” Rahimi said after one of his two World Clubs Cup wins. Rahimi usually competes at 57kg but plans on staying up to 61kg, at least until the 2019 World Championships. “It was my first appearance at 61kg, and I am satisfied with my performance. I have aimed to compete at 61kg in the next World Championships, but I should think forward to the Olympic Games. I should choose between 57kg and 65kg, but it depends on the future situation.” Ranked Wrestlers No. 3 Joe COLON (USA) No. 11 Nikolai OKHLOPKOV (ROU) Punia Looking to Keep Hot Streak Alive Bajrang PUNIA (IND) is looking to keep his 2018 hot streak rolling and comes into the Dan Kolov as the 65kg front runner. He’s currently ranked third in the world at 65kg and holds 40 Ranking Series points (40rsp). Punia, one of the sport’s biggest rising stars, is hoping to continue the success he achieved last year where he captured a medal in all six competitions he entered – including capping off the year with a runner-up finish at the 2019 world championships. Last season, the Indian wrestler won the Asian Games, the Commonwealth Games, the Yasar Dogu, and G. Kartozia & V. Balavadze Price, and also finished in third place at the Asian Championships. To win his first Dan Kolov title, he’ll have to stop Bulgaria's two-time world medalist Vladimir DUBOV from defending his title from a year ago. (SIDE NOTE: Punia is coming off a win over Azerbaijan's three-time world champion Haji ALIYEV at the 2019 Indian Pro League.)

The fourth through seventh-ranked wrestlers at 70kg competing this weekend are Iakobishvili, BAT ERDENE Byambadorj (MGL), Andriy KVYATKOVSKYY (UKR), and Ikhtiyor NAVRUZOV (UZB). Outside of world title holder Iakobishvili, the only other ranked wrestler at this weight who has claimed a world or Olympic medal is seventh-ranked Ikhtiyor NAVRUZOV (UZB). Navruzov won the 65kg bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. James GREEN, the United States' two-time world medalist will also wrestle at 70kg. Green won a bronze medal in 2015 and a silver medal in 2017, but only won one match at the 2018 world champion before falling to Bat Erdene in the second round, 4-2.

Purevjav is ranked fourth in the world, and Dieringer, who collected 10 Ranking Series point after a third-place finish at the Ivan Yariguin, sits in the No. 12 spot. At 92kg, LUVSANDORJ Turtogtokh (MGL) and Magomed KURBANOV (RUS) are ranked top-10 in the world entering the Dan Kolov. Luvsandorj lost in the 2018 world bronze-medal bout and left Budapest with a fifth-place finish. The Mongolian wrestler owns 20 Ranking Series points and is ranked sixth in the world at 92kg. Magomed Kurbanov holds 14 Ranking Series point and is the tenth-ranked wrestler in the world at 92kg. Kurbanov won the prestigious Ivan Yariguin after he swept the competition, going 4-0 in the round-robin tournament.

yes, the Italian Champs withdrawal was just "nothing"... probably he wanted to save some energy and avoid any risk of injury in a useless (for him) competition... by the way, this is our team for the Kolov-Petrov tournament: men's freestyle Givi Davidovi (-57 kg) Abdellatif Mansour (-65 kg) Frank Chamizo (-74 kg) Carmelo Lumia (-86 kg) Abraham Conyedo (-97 kg) women's wrestling Emanuela Liuzzi (-50 kg) Francesca Indelicato (-57 kg) Carola Rainero (-57 kg) Aurora Campagna (-62 kg) Elena Esposito (-62 kg) Sara Da Col (-62 kg) Dalma Caneva (-68 kg) for what I see, we have another non-Italian born newcomer...Abdellatif Mansour p.s. and still no news of Kudiiamagomedov...it looks the new mystery of Fatima...nobody knows anything, nobody says anything, even the NF doesn't answer to any enquiry about him...meh...

well, with young women is always a lottery, but trust me, if she grows up according to what she have shown until now, in a couple of years she's gonna be minutes ahead of those girls... so far, all previews about HMF are about the next Bjorgen, not less... we just have to sit and wait...it won't take very long to see if they're right or not...

Big Competition in Austria (or France or Italy)? It was more than expected...actually, I'm surprised they did wait until now...

yeah...and let's not forget that Ebba Andersson is only 2 years older and there's always a certain Helene Marie Fossesholm ready on the runway, 2 years younger than Karlsson and already only a bunch of seconds behind her at the Junior Worlds just a few weeks ago... I think women's CC Skiing is gonna get a lot more interesting than now in quite a short while...

2019 World Cup, Stage #1 (New Delhi, IND) Final Recap Hungary and India won the final medal table with 3 Gold Medals each... China won the most medals (10), but they only managed to get 1 Gold... Russia, Germany and Switzerland also won 1 Gold medal each, meanwhile a total of 13 Nations won at least a medal (not looking at which kind of medal)... for what concerns the Olympic Quota Places, China dominated the field, earning good 5 spots, followed by Hungary with 2 and a bunch of Nations (AUT, IND, ITA, SRB, SUI, TPE and KOR) getting 1 Quota Place each...

I don't know if it's just me, but the streaming has gone...dead...over...kaputt!

not sure Chamizo will show up...last weekend he missed the Italian Champs (he pulled out at the last minute, it's not been explained why?)... and also Azerbaijan had their Nationals last week (I saw they were broadcasting them on CBC Sport from Tuesday to Thursday)...I think that's the reason for their absence in Bulgaria...

naaa, I think Moldoveanu and Coman are both good enough to qualify as individuals... but I agree on the rest of your post...
