Awesome thanks!

Russian 66 kg is a mess. Vachadze just fell apart somehow and Albiev is clearly too small for the weight. Any chance Albiev sucks down and gets a chance for hte Olympic spot?

Vlasoev is a huge stud, not suprised if ther preselect him. Excited Totrov won, he's a pretty fun guy to watch

Any chance Albiev sucks down and gets a chance for hte Olympic spot?

Actually that's what he did I read about it one month ago but no more update, looks like they will send all candidates to an international tournament and the better wrestler will go to London.

Kurmagmedov is 2011 world bronze medalist, I don't think they pick Albiev without giving Kurmagmedov any chance.

I'm sure Akzent will tell us more

Vlasov and Baroev didn't participate but both of them will be in the olympic team most probably.

Albiev didn't wrestle either, and while Kuramagomedov might now be the first option for the russian coaches to get the 60kg spot in London, he and Albiev are said to be competing for a place in the team, depending on their results in the upcoming tournaments.

Thanks for videos

interesting, 7 matches, 19 periods but only 1 point in standing position, 3rd period of 84kg final and even that point was Mishin's mistake.

[gutfirst]

thank for the vids. bad ass performance at 66 scoring the gut with less than 10 seconds left in per 3.

When is the Iranian nationals?

[jimbo]

When is the Iranian nationals?

Iranian nationals are always held after the Worlds/Olympics without almost all top wrestlers. not a prestigious tournament at all.

but if you want to know the Olympic team, they already announced it.

Rahimi, Esmaeilpour, Taghavi, Goudarzi, Lashgari, Yazdani and Ghasemi in freestyle.
Sourian, Noroozi, Abdevali, Akhlaghi, Rezaei and Babajanzadeh in Greco-Roman.
