ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 1 hour ago, nhs67 said: I don't think it really is at a ranking series tournament like this... How many returning Worlds medalists were in the entire field, not including the USA? Less than ten? Overall, I don't know, but at 57kg, Iran and Georgia and Kazakhstan sent two wrestlers, and there was the Bronze at last year's World Championships, and none of those seven medaled. The World Champ jumped to 61kg and won Gold, while last year's Silver lost to Zane at Final X. Lots of Euro, Asian and U23 medalists and champs. Plug in a great Russian wrestler in the field and some suspect wrestlers from Morocco and Peru like you'd have at a World Championship--instead of the extra Irani, Georgian and Kazak wrestlers--and it may be about even.

But a ranking tourney is for those wanting seeds in the WCs so it will be tough than the Spanish Gran Prix lets say. Anyway, We should have had 5 golds if Dake and Taylor were there. The other World Team members did well medalling. mspart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3 for LU Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Happy Saturday... Just saw Jacarra Winchester TF Mariana Dragutan of Moldova 11-0 and checked her ticket into the finals. Looked strong in that bout... she'll be going up against Karia Godina Gonzalez of Canada in the finals. D3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3 for LU Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Wow... after a lengthy break for a challenge that USA's Johnson won (63Kg repechage bout), the Moldovan Ciobanu then head pinched him and proceeded to ragdoll Johnson for 12 points and then pounced on him for the fall as soon as Johnson remained flat on his back. Johnson is not getting up... injury for sure. D3 Edited July 15, 2023 by D3 for LU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got choked out and TF'ed and then won the challenge and then got to continue and got choked out and ragdolled a second time. He probably should have stopped the first time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3 for LU Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Sincerely hoping, he's okay and recovered. But I wondered why the ref didn't check for signs of choking in the first place... aren't they aware of such actions?

D3 for LU Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) I'm looking at the bronze medal match on Mat C that has the women competing for "AIN"... on the scoreboard above her name the "flag" emblem is blank... her last name is Koshkina... could she be Russian competing w/o the flag?
