(Does Sudalaev show up for that match after yesterdays def. in the semis?) D3 I’m guessing Sadulaev doesn’t show. If he does, it makes it look like he wasn’t really injured yesterday and just broke (not saying that’s the case, but that’s what it would look like). Related question: How does Olympic qualification work for AIN athletes? Can he qualify the weight for Russia here? Or would it be qualifying as an individual? Obviously that’s a big motivation to get him to wrestle, but I doubt he wants to wrestle Snyder while he’s not 100% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Well, I'm going to celebrate the 97 kg Bronze, then. As for new business, Kilty, Maroulis and Gray all up in two on Mats A, B and C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Maroulis the easy winner against Spain with a nice foot sweep that was lost when the feed went down but found again in the end-of-match replays. Kilty must be waiting for the prescribed time. Her match has been up for 10 minutes now. Gray waiting on a challenge in the match before hers.

nhs67 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 (edited) 2 and 3 seed on bottom in 76 KG are down. I think if Gray (76 KG) wins her next one against Japan she should slide rather easily into Gold/Silver match.

nhs67 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 (edited) Maroulis (57 KG) has her toughest match in the semifinals, providing she gets by the Azera.

nhs67 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 (edited) Hildebrandt (50 KG) has an Azera in her bottom 1/4er as well. Not sure who she sees out of the Russian (assuming Russo and not Belarusian) or Mongolian in the semifinals if she makes the semifinals.

nhs67 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Kilty (65 KG) has Hristova of Bulgaria in her 1/4er. Neither have made the 2nd period thus far (Kilty two techfells and Hristova one, respectively so far). 1 Quote "The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals.

nhs67 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Keep in mind that of the matches that started today only 50 KG, 57 KG, and 76 KG are Olympic weights. 65 KG is not an Olympic weight, so Kilty is wrestling for a bye to the semi-finals of a different weight. Also, Winchester (55 KG) and Page (59 KG) are also non-Olympic qualifiers. If Page wins her Bronze she also earns a bye to the semifinals and Winchester has already earned it by making the finals. Medalists in non-Olympic weights can choose which weight they want to go for OTT. Not sure if it has to be an adjacent weight or not - although that is most likely the case in every scenario.

fishbane Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Why didn't Otoguro wrestle in the repechage? This leaves both the gold and silver medalists from Tokyo not qualified at 65kg. The only such mens freestyle weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
