couple weeks ago in Jakarta, Mollaei's defeat (by 3rd shido in very last second which was really really heart breaking specially because he even started his celebration for the gold medal) was the saddest moment of the Games for me. but today he made up for that already. even a silver medal is a great result. of course I hope for more but I'm already very glad with what he won so far. before the tournament I would be happy with a bronze from our small 3-man team but now they already have two medals in the bag.

German derby for bronze. This will be interesting.

But i liked the Wazari btw 

Lol this is wrestling not judo

Timo Boll
In the final again! What an athlete! Great match, hard luck to Franziska.

I'd rather just have separate World championships if it comes to that, just like it was before 1990. WEG is like the Olympics for athletes of vaulting, reining, driving and endurance, so it would be a great shame to have it without them.

as we always knew. they will consider all results , all 8 matches

Hm, maybe Latvia, but Im not sure.

48:6 HT

whoops rathi lost 

Was just checking on AZE that rathi is facing seems to be hot stuff ....a cadet world champ and he took apart a russian in the earlier round seems like a great wrestler but rathi has a strong heart ,  I am hoping for the best 

yes sachin rathi reached semis ...... he is a fine wrestler defeated a IRI closely then GEO .... he is the asian junior champ so along with deepak in 86  are the best bet to reach finals ......
 

I predicted it perfectly 3-2 for Serbia 

No one, everyone predicted either 3-0 or 3-1 for Poland. Complete zero for everyone  Also, majority predicted Iran's win! I expected 60-40 at least for that match.

Top 25 with max 3 per nation.

So next year we'll have Europeans with yet to qualify.
 

 
My heart breaks for Ireland.

I made our players angry on Twitter, I take credit for this win 

Velasco just being Kozakiewicz after this match by showing this

These grooms sitting behind are not allowed to move or talk during a dressage test. They basically have a staring contest, that must be so awkward.
 

 

Sensible decision. No point in chasing 35th place or something individually when this horse can win classes. There will be another day for them.
