anything can happen at the olympics, and personally i think that if there is going to be an upset in wrestling, it will be at this weight. 66 is the most unpredictable weight IMO and the US has a great rep for 66 (Bubba Jenkins, zadick) so you never know.

my picks:55- naraambatar (always improving + showed himself vs Kudukhov + tough/hungry)60- batirov (has difficult tech/tac. system to beat as long as he does his stuff)66- schwab (i believe he can rattle opps at this weight especially at such anx. times)74- aldatov (something about his style that can disarm Saytiev, tigiev will be tough too)84- Ketoev (acts and feels like the master, lets just see now)lttr.

Would Mussulbes be Myccyлбзc in Russian? I've seen it transliterated more than one way and I'd like to get the pronunciation correct. Thanks to anyone who can help me out with that.
