The new rules have obviously leveled the playing field. No payoff here. Remember, Minguzzi did beat the 2004 gold medalist from Russia in the quarterfinals, didn't he? I didn't see any questionable calls there. I will say, however, that the current rules make Greco even more boring than it ever was, and the best technician doesn't always win. They've lowered it to not much more than a defensive battle. I don't currently have any suggestions about how to fix that, but it's something to think about.

Ywo suggetions to at least do away with wrestlers winning periods by being on bottom last: if the one minute on their feet is scoreless, go to a clinch and/or make the line for pushouts in inner edge of the zone.
