TF City... Lee!

D3

Lets not get too feisty, Darian Cruz has a win over that guy 🙂 lol. I think Lee got by his "scary" guy. Sarlak  lost as well, so with Kalzhan (who gets teched a lot when he loses)  being the only obstacle standing in his way, I've very confident Spency gets it done. Although..... not as confident as I was that he medals at the Olympics. He looks good against sub-par competition but I think he may lack the explosivity needed against those top guys. (I doubted MICIC as well but didnt we all) 
I think he is elite in skill but maybe just not body make-up.

Is Zain officially eliminated from the olympics now?

Naw, he has a shot at coming through the backside assuming Ochir doesnt stumble on the front-side.... just have to let it all play out

*However, Ochir does not have a cake-walk, to the finals, he basically has to wrestle 2 more Zains

I think he's explosive enough. But I'm not sure he's got the freestyle-specific athletic defense or the insane hand-fighting necessary to defend the light-speed attacks he'll keep seeing. Micic does it with scrambling and stickiness. Gilman does it with killer, killer hand-fighting. Lee needs to spend all of his time on these skills before the Olympics.

Thanks, these olympic qualifications are way too confusing when people who follow it still have a hard time understanding it all.  I thought Zain had to make the finals to "qualify" the weight, didn't realize he can still wrestle back

Normal repechage but the 2 bronze from either side wrestle essentially a "True 3rd" match and that person qualifies

They're taking 3 from each weight. Reaching the final is automatic. But if the Mongolian reaches the final, he'll be brought back in. But he would need to win 4 in a row tomorrow--two regular repechage, a traditional bronze match (usually they award two bronzes), then the bronze vs bronze special True 3rd wrestle-off.

If he wins later in the semi-final, he's in. If he loses, he needs to win TWO tomorrow--a traditional bronze and the bronze vs. bronze True 3rd match.

Zain needs Ochir to win 2 in a row to unlock Zain's chance to compete for true third.

If unlocked for Zain, his path to third is work.  Zain can do it.
