I think Yoshida beating Snyder was a fluke, but maybe i'm wrong. As for 74 , Takatani has to be around 30 years old now. He was in the bracket with Pico and Yazdani at junior worlds. I think Takahashi will be the guy for them at 74 going forward and I think he can go very far at 74. He seemed to struggle to wrestle the full 6 minutes at the ranking tournament. If he can fix that he could be the surprise of 2025 worlds.

Their A team is the favourite against the USA from 57 - 74. Of course they will never have the depth of the countries that actually somewhat care about wrestling. P4P they may have the best program, though.

Didn't even know this place had a non wrestling forum, lol. Looks like a war zone in there. And those posts you mentioned are ridiculous and racist. I mean, only 1 of them is even true!

Well you will win a 100 dollars if you are right. If he is still at 61 in 2027 I will send it to you.

Expect to win gold based off what? Cause he won cadet worlds once at 45kg? Also I assume you will be banned for your signature.

If that's the reason then it's not working. Those countries don't have anyone decent (outside of maybe Khamzat Chimaev, lol) and will never care about wrestling enough to produce a solid team. They pretty much suck at GR too. My surprise is more that the IOC hasn't removed GR.

I will send you 100 dollars if he still wrestling 61kg in 2 or 3 years. A bet only on my side.

I duno why this Babak guy ( The Iranian commentator) keeps saying Khateri just turned 17. He turned 18 in January!

Its just boring. They tried a lot of rule sets for Greco. Actually I am in a way impressed by FILA/UWW, they managed to keep GR in the Olympics somehow. It is the only olympic sport women can't participate in. How did they pull it off? Im sure it's not because of the immense audience it draws. We were never going to have 24 or 30 weight classes or whatever ( 8/8/8 10/10/10 or even 7/7/7) no matter now competent or incompetent UWW may or may not be. The days of 10 weights per style or even 8 were when womens was not included. We already have the most weight classes of any sport. Im no fan super fan of UWW and they can barely even film a wrestling match properly in some of their recent tournaments ( some of the camera angles at 2023 worlds and this years junior asians were shocking) but out of all the sports in the Olympics that have weight classes, wrestling has the most with 18. If we could go 9 and 9 with FS and WFS I would take it. Unfortunately my real assumption is eventually it will all be replaced with beach wrestling, which I am not a fan of.

The american kid he lost to was a leg attack god

G.R Mohammadi's job (and life) are on the line. He needs Khateri to beat American superstar Marcus Blaze.

They should sacrifice GR more FS weights if that is possible.

Those 50 uncles share some blame also. They teach these guys that style of wrestling when they are kids.

Ok, could have sworn it was 4 yesterday

Why only 3 mats today

This is pathetic. Bad look for UWW officials

Japan coaches should have tried to challenge that last sequence

Doing the semis on 1 mat 1 at a time is brutal

Damn this Mamivand guy sucks..wrestles like Goleij except he is a 74kg guy. That match was the worst showcase of the modern Iranian style of wrestling. Guy is down 3 points with 10 seconds left and he is still trying to get 1 point stepouts. How do you make a junior team in Iran and literally not have a leg attack?

I will guess he isn't actually from Hormozgan. Vahabian who just came second at cadet worlds at 71kg represents Gilan but is from Mazandaran. Not 100% but I will assume he is from elsewhere.

Yaz will keep it upper body and try and hand fight with him for 6 minutes. He will never shoot on Sad which is what got Taylor killed. I don't think he will win but I think unless he is completely washed from his injuries he will be able to lose by less than Taylor did against Sad.

He represents Hormozgan. Couldn't find anything on if he is actually from there or just representing them.

They were not happy with Pirdayeh's performance after Asian juniors so they held a mini trial at 65 between him and 3 other wrestlers. This Tat guy won it. That's all I know about him. He hasn't been on any teams previously. As for Khateri, he is only on the team because the 61 at asian champs came fifth. I guess they think he can do better or just want to give someone else a chance. They sent Khateri to a junior tournament in Armenia a few months ago and he didn't do well so I wouldn't expect much.

We should get a gold at juniors. Maybe 86 and/or 79. Will be interesting if Yousefi at 79 can beat that Turkmen kid after the good year he has had at the senior level or if he still loses to him badly like last time. They changed a few of the wrestlers after asian juniors ( 61, 65, 79, 125).

Ok. I thought it looked like someone from the classic Friday the 13th movies.
