2020 Tokyo Olympics - Schedule and live report

My solution would be the following:
1. Get rid of tie-breaker criteria in Greco. Put in extra rounds of fights until there is a winner. What is the point of splitting up the competition if they wont maximize the benefits of it?
2. Get rid of the passivity shot clocks and reinstate automatic par-terre for each wrestler. The thing is everyone will feel like they were the more active wrestlers and judges themselves can get it wrong. Other times like this they can use it to be biased.

I dont get how tie breaker isnt just more rounds or last point wins. I feel from the standpoint of more viewership, maximizing excitement, etc that is the most obvious thing to do.

Its really strange to me how that isnt the rule.

still, azeri referee is for us as bad as an israeli one.

ioc knows what it does.

do they give an azeri athlethe an armenian referee? of course not!

Tomorrow's Greco-Roman draw

[_Navid_]

Let's hope our volleyball wins today to end this 8 days of disappointment streak!

[Babak500]

should the cuban guy win, will we face that turk in 130 kg?

[_Navid_]

Our 2 best Greco medal chances will compete tomorrow. Not the best draw but not terrible either. 77kg doesn't have a clear gold medal favourite. I hope Geraei can beat Cuba as we don't usually match up well with them!
Saravi on the other hand has to beat the 2 athletes that beat him in 2019 worlds if he wants to reach the final.

[Babak500]

should the cuban guy win, will we face that turk in 130 kg?

anyone?

[peiman92]

We will play Brazil in Volleyball if we beat Japan.

[Adesor Vafaseya]

anyone?

Yes, should Lopez win, we will meet Reza Kaylaap (one of the greatest heavy weight Greco Wrestlers ever). So slim if not zero chances for a medal in 130 kgs.

[Babak500]

we should believe in our athletes. many times iranian athletes shine in such situations where the opponents are the favorites.

[Mahsaa]

Is there wrestling again today or will the cuban abd eventuall mirzazadeh then have the match tommorow ?

Semifinals will resume in half an hour. Repecharge matches and finals will be tomorrow.

[Babak500]

cuban guy won

[Mahsaa]

cuban guy won

So we still have the chance for bronze !?

[Adesor Vafaseya]

So we still have the chance for bronze !?

a chance, yes.
But I don’t think he will make it. I hope I am wrong.

First he has to beat the European champion Alexuc-Chiaurariu and then he has to fight vs one of the best Greco wrestlers ever in the history, Reza Kayaap.
