MHSN 3,212 Posted October 23, 2018 #201 Share Posted October 23, 2018 so far, China and Spain won their first ever medal in men's freestyle. and of course Bahrain will win its first ever medal in wrestling in next few hours I don't follow women's wrestling that much but Egypt and Cuba have good chance for their first ever medal in women's wrestling. also Mexico is in medal round with a chance for first ever medal in wrestling in general. even though I think Mongolia is strong favorite here. Conyedo has a very good chance to become the 2nd Italian medalists (after Chamizo) in freestyle wrestling since Giovanni Schillaci back in 1994. (I remember that guy very well in 1996 Olympics lost in semifinal by referees decision) . but one thing is very interesting for me. how come Oliynik is now wrestling for Hungary ? just last year he wrestled for Ukraine ! and as far as I know you have to be inactive for 24 months to switch nationality ! maybe they changed the rules or maybe there is something fishy here. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're using the same new rules that allow Italy to use Conyedo, Kudiiamagomedov and Kakhelashvili...now you just need to have the residence in a Country and be part of a local club to take part in the international events for that Nation... the only part that remained the same as it was in the past (actually, the required inactivity period before the switch has increased) are the Olympic Games (and their qualification tournaments)...

merlinsbeard 21 Posted October 23, 2018 #208 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I am really excited to see Sadulaev vs Synder. I think it is gonna be hell of a match. In women, Yasemin Adar reached the final again but the opponent is quite tough. Also, Japanese wrestlers were a disaster today. Not even a single final. I have one question though. There is 58 kg women wrestling class in the olympics. There are 57kg and 59kg in the world wrestling championships. Which one will be counted in the medal count of totallympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
