mspart Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 As of Jun 26, these are the numbers of entrants per https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/11072503-mens-freestyle-entries-for-the-budapest-ranking-series 57 - 23 entrants 61 - 14 entrants 65 - 23 entrants 70 - 15 entrants 74 - 19 entrants 79 - 14 entrants 86 - 28 entrants 92 - 11 entrants 97 - 20 entrants 125 - 19 entrants The number of entrants for non Olympic weights is fairly drastic. They have no more than 15 entrants averaging 13.5 entrants per weight. The Olympic weights have more participants with an average of 22 participants. For what it is worth. mspart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWfan Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Looks like the team is in Budapest, minus Retherford, Dake, Taylor and Steveson. With Parris wrestling in place of Steveson, will be interested to see how he fares against the rest of the 125kg field. I still believe he is one of the top 10 125kg's in the world, hopefully he gets the chance to show it against the likes of Akgul, Petriashvili, etc. PNWfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3 for LU Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Some of you may already know this, but they're going to start off w/the Men's FS on this Thursday and conclude on Friday, the Women's FS sandwiched between the Men's FS and Men's GR, which will be run on Sat./Sun. Sorry, no weekend FS for all you FS fans out there. D3 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 The WATCH PARTY starts in about an hour. Taking Mat A at approximately 4:30 am (Eastern) and 3:30 am (Central) is America's Zane Richards. He will be wrestling a tough Georgian. This fellow from Georgia looks like Liam Cronin's stronger and bigger Eastern Bloc uncle. I did a Moneyball look at Bujiashvili prior to the World Cup, but Zane didn't wrestle this guy, Suriano did. Anyway, here's that scouting report: In the first round of the ranking series tournament, Zane Richards will wrestle Beka Bujiashvili of Georgia. Certainly not the easiest possible draw, but also a guy the IRTC athlete can handle. We did a Moneyball look at this fellow before because he was a potential opponent for Zane at the World Cup. They did not wrestle. Instead, Suriano handled him 6-3. Here is video of a match between him and Suriano in a ranking series event, which Suriano won 2-1. (Requires FloWrestling sub). He looks like a bearded Liam Cronin here. THE GEORGIAN: BEKA BUJIASHVILI This fellow must see a lot of his fellow countryman and former gold and silver World Championship medalist Beka Lomtadze, who won his medals at 61kg and most recently competed at 65kg. Beka Bujiashvili has been less successful. He is still a very good and dangerous wrestler. In terms of height and weight, he looks like a Caucasus region brother of Zane Richards. He is well-muscled, though not as well-defined as Zane, not particularly tall and has quite a head of hair. He's been around forever, having first wrestled internationally in 2009. He won a bronze medal in 2013 in the Junior World Championships. Since then, he's won a weight class at the Henri Deglane tournament. The Georgian finished 12th in the 2022 World Championships beating an over-matched Spaniard, but then losing to Hasagawa of Japan. He had a fifth-place finish at Matteo Pellicone, but that entailed one win and two losses, though he seemed injured in at least two of his matches (lower back). He did finish third in this year's Russia-less European Championships, which entailed two wins and one loss. Finally, he finished second at Yasar Dogu with a four-and-one record. SPECIAL: Bujiashvili has used a head in leglace, which has been successful. At other times, even when he falls into them after a successful double, he just doesn't seem to know where to begin. He will lead with his right leg even when shaking hands. He will usually use his right leg to gain ground as well. On occasion, he will wrestle from one knee. His arm throw is fast and dangerous. One of the best I've ever seen. He'll roll into it without tying up first. Beka will take a two-on-one and sit through for a very interesting takedown attempt, kicking his opponent over him. He'll also go for a high crotch from the two-on-one. He will often shoot on the whistle. Be ready to defend his incredible arm throw and two-on-one, and you should have success against him. Here are his Moneyball stats: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3 for LU Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Right out of the blocks, Valencia wrestled the Iranian and lost 6-3. @ 92Kg... apparently size does matters. D3 1 Never argue with an idiot.

ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Not an optimal start for the greatest country in the history of history. Zahid loses to the Iranian. Hale lost. Didn't catch the Finesilver result. Amine won, but he was wrestling for "SMR." Is that short for SMERSH? You may recall that SMERSH kidnapped Vesper Lynd of Section S, and after Bond got into a chase after the kidnappers, he crashed and SMERSH tortured good old 007 with a carpet beater. Amine won with a late takedown of Poland. FloWrestling, if you're out there, Mat A keeps buffering every 15 seconds. Not optimal. For the millions of Zaniacs out there, it will be a little bit before Zane takes the mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Now I've seen it all. Musukaev with a come-from-behind win over China. Down 8-4 in the second period. He relishes the :30 break like a guy walking into a bordello with somebody else's platinum Visa card. There was an injury timeout and the soccer spray can for the boo boo. America back on the board with a Parris win over Italy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3 for LU Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Our old pal Destribats is wrestling on Mat A now... and his singlet looks like he broke out of jail! (Horizontal blue stripes, yikes!) Currently, he's behind the Albanian 5-0 at the break. Gotta shut down. Time for me to go to work. D3 Edited July 13, 2023 by D3 for LU 1 Never argue with an idiot.
