Tons of talent in this weight. I'm going to let my anti-Tagahvi bias show hereI'll go with Yonomitsu, who doesn't get much attention even though he is a 2x world medallist who is 2-2 with Taghavi.
Taghavi- Iran
Yonemitsu- Japan
Gogaev- Russisa
Hasaynov- Azerbayjan
Kumar- Iran
Shahin- Turey
Lopez- Cuba

Rooting for Hasanov who is a ton of fun to watch, but predicting your boy Taghavi.

Nono ... I think it'll Yonemitsu ! Pretty sure. What about Frayer, i wait for him good result. Maybe bronze medal or 5th place.
The spelling is awfull. Its "Turkey", not "Turey". It spells "Russia", not Russisa. Also the right spelling is - "Azerbaijan", not "Azerbayjan". The wrestler is "Hasanov" not "Hasaynov". Kumar is not drom Iran, he represents India.
Feel free to make our own poll, and take a long time so you don't have any typos.
I am just saying, why spell wrong if we can do it right?
Because I made a bunch of polls in a short amount of time while very sleep deprived. Clearly most of my mistakes were simple typos. I know how to spell Turkey.
Anyway- anybody know why Shahin became such a nonfactor after the Olympics? I vaguely remember something about weight and illness but not the details. He was/is one of my favorites; not the most imposing or aggressive, but just has such a wide arsenal of moves and counters Tore through one of the all time great brackets in Garzon, Taghavi, Tushishvilli and Stadnik last time.
