except for Ketoev:![]() My favorite 2007 Euro’s wrestler still is Kvirkvelia: ![]() I shall post some pictures from his final match vs. Bucher of Switzerland (the picture I posted yesterday was not from the final). The referees were quite biased. They wanted to make Bucher the champ because they wanted to make FILA president Martinetti (of Switzerland) happy by producing a champ from his country. They gave points to Bucher by warning Kvirkvelia; so Bucher could win a period. In the third period Kvirkvelia went mad and finished his opponent off with a 5 points throw. The first 3 pictures show him preparing the guy for the flight: http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/1...kvelia1bc7.jpg http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/5...kvelia2by7.jpg http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/7...kvelia3bz4.jpg http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/3...kvelia4ei5.jpg | |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Hey, I have a surprise for you! At a hidden place in the spectator area, I identified 2 non-European persons at the European championships. On the left side – one of my favorite wrestlers; now the head coach of the freestyle of Iran. He came to Sofia to make tapes and to study the style of the Russians. I hope his mission will be successful and next time we will see Yazdani destroying Ketoev |

No, they were busy praying to beat the Americans (which they did at worlds)but forgot about the Russians. J/K But really Heidari seems to be really getting into his position as head coach. Hopefully he can make so more improvements. Akzent thanks a lot.

Less than a month after the European wrestling championships, "the East" beat "the West" also at the Eurovision song contest last weekend in Helsinki (estimated 110 million viewers). 24 finalists competed. Only 7 westeuropean countries participated because most of them had failed already in the semis and in the quarters (42 participants). The first 16 places have been taken by Balkan countries and by post-soviet states. There are interesting analysis and comments in the media, some of them talking of an East v West contest and even of a new cold war, of a (political) en block voting in the "old Eastern block" etc. Search for “Eurovision song contest” in Google News. In the advanced search menu, put day limits of the search: between May 12 and May15. The most commented thing is the voting (per sms or call). All post-soviet states voted for Russia. All post-yugoslavian states voted for Serbia. In this second case, each of them (Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Bosnia) gave Serbia the maximum of 12 points.
