I'll be surprised if he's not Russia's 84 rep at the Olympics. Russia wants gold back at this weight and I think he's the man to do it.

You could be right. Ktsoev, Saritov, Gadisov (now at 96) and Urishev are all about as close as can be, but Urishev is probably the most well rounded one. He's beaten Aldatov, Herbert, Ganev, Sharifov and all the other Russian studs. Just can't seem to do it at nationals- he always loses on clinches!

Does anybody have new information about saitiev ? He going to 74 or 84 kilos?

word is that he will return at 84, but after tsargush loosing at the WC i woudnt be suprised if he went 74

He'll have to start dieting. He's skinny fat.

I also don't see him representing Russia at either weight come the Olympics. I think he'll get beat for the spots.

Yeah, Urishev hasn't gotten it done at Russian Nats but there's always next year.

Joking about that but he's much heavier lately.
