Top Potential Freestyle Matches To Watch At Worlds

#1 Taha Akgul vs Amir Zare Zare is the man to beat now at the 125kg weight class with his performance in Oslo knocking off Akgul and Petriashvili to win the world title as a 20 year old. The only reason these two are on the list and not Geno Petriashvili is because they will probably be the top 2 seeds at the tournament. There will most likely be a Taha Akgul vs Geno Petriashvili semifinal at…

Les athlètes musulmans brillent aux Jeux Olympiques de Tokyo OU la mentalité pourrie de la oumma islamiste !

Pour se glorifier de bons résultats les islamistes font les fonds de tiroirs... pour additionner des victoires sur les sports les moins honorables et jamais issus d'un pays musulman, mais TOUJOURS grâce à des pays d'accueil genre l'occident... le résultat global est minable !

Alors que ce dimanche 8 août a sonné la fin d’Olympiades si singulières, au pays du Soleil-Levant sur lequel planait l’ombre d’un virus sans frontières qui, tel le plus affûté des marathoniens, n’est toujours pas à bout de souffle, des athlètes musulmans, au sommet de leur art, commencent à peine à savourer leur consécration. Si le rideau est tombé sur la plus prestigieuse manifestation sportive au monde, toujours aussi âprement disputée en dépit de stades désertés d’où n’est montée aucune clameur populaire, l’horizon de ces remarquables compétiteurs, qui ont pour bible le Noble Coran, s’éclaircit d’une lumière éclatante… Celle que reflètent leurs médailles tant convoitées.

Share Né de parents yéménites qui ont choisi l’Angleterre comme terre d’accueil, ce gladiateur des rings a fait retentir l’hymne britannique « God save the Queen», après avoir terrassé son adversaire lors de la finale des poids mouches. Hissé sur la plus haute marche du podium, sous les yeux émus de ses deux frères aînés, boxeurs professionnels à Birmingham, Galal Yafai a reproduit avec bonheur un geste hautement symbolique : il a, comme tant d’autres grands champions, mordu sa belle médaille d’or, comme pour mieux s’assurer qu’il ne rêvait pas…

Share Il a fait flotter le drapeau d’Ouzbékistan au-dessus de l’arène où il est venu à bout de son adversaire, Richard Torrez, anéantissant par là même tous les espoirs d’un retour triomphal nourris par l’équipe américaine de boxe, Bakhodir Jalolov, le colosse de Tachkent, a décroché le titre olympique des poids-lourds, en quelques uppercuts qui ont fait la fierté de son pays. Imam Khataev

Share Autre boxeur venu cette fois-ci de l’Oural, autre médaille olympique ! Dans la catégorie des mi-lourds, le Russe Imam Khataev s’est particulièrement distingué sur le ring. Masqué, mais des étoiles plein les yeux, c’est le bronze qu’il a réussi à accrocher autour de son cou.

Share Auteure d’un doublé exceptionnel, cette formidable coureuse de fond et demi-fond d’origine éthiopienne a porté haut les couleurs des Pays-Bas, sa terre d’adoption depuis 2013, en semant ses principales rivales à la fois sur le 5 000m et le 10 000m. C’est peu dire que la double championne olympique à Tokyo, qui a également raflé la médaille de bronze au 1 500m, en avait sous le pied… Feryal Abdelaziz

Share Du haut de ses 22 ans, la jeune égyptienne Feryal Abdelaziz n’a pas tremblé au moment de monter sur le tatamis pour affronter, en finale d’un combat de karaté de haut vol, l’Azerbaïdjanaise Iryna Zaretska. Ignorant la peur de gagner, elle a pris crânement l’avantage sur sa redoutable adversaire. C’est le visage illuminé par un large sourire, et en montrant ses biceps, que Feryal Abdelaziz s’est hissée au firmament de sa discipline, en sa qualité de première égyptienne médaillée d’or chez les femmes de plus 61 kg. Giana Farouk Share Autre combattante de talent en provenance du pays des pharaons, l’Egyptienne Giana Farouk a fait forte impression sur le tatamis, dans la catégorie des femmes de moins de 61 kg. C’est le bronze qui a récompensé sa farouche résistance face à l’adversité, pour la plus grande fierté de ses proches et de ses compatriotes. Sajad Ganjzadeh  Share Vainqueur du saoudien Tareg Hamedi, lequel a quitté le tatamis en larmes après avoir été sanctionné pour le violent coup de pied à la tête administré à son adversaire, l’Iranien Sajad Ganjzandeh a remporté la médaille d’or du karaté masculin dans la catégorie des plus de 75 kg. Une médaille particulièrement savoureuse pour le champion perse, mais au goût amer pour son rival disqualifié, qui a dû se contenter de l’argent. Ahmed El Gendy

Share Il a tenu toutes ses promesses depuis son sacre, en 2018, aux Jeux Olympiques de la jeunesse,  l’Egyptien Ahmed Elgendy s’est magnifiquement illustré, samedi, à la veille de la clôture des JO, dans les cinq disciplines qui composent le pentathlon moderne. Au zénith de son sport favori ou presque, il est monté allègrement sur la deuxième marche du podium olympique, en se projetant déjà en 2024, à Paris, pour se hisser à son sommet. Mohamed Ahmed

Share Né à Mogadiscio, en Somalie, Mohammed Ahmed en a parcouru du chemin depuis ses 11 ans, et avalé des kilomètres en grandes foulées, avant de représenter dignement le Canada, sa terre d’adoption, aux Jeux Olympiques 2021. Etoile montante du 5 000m masculin, il a fini second d’une course haletante, et c’est le souffle coupé, mais comblé de bonheur, que ses efforts et son parcours admirable ont été couronnés d’argent.  Cherif Younousse et Ahmed Tijan

Share A eux deux, ils font la paire ! Les Qataris Cherif Younousse et Ahmed Tijan, les talentueux duettistes du volleyball de plage masculin, sont apparus radieux sur la troisième marche du podium olympique, se prêtant à un rituel désormais incontournable : ils ont mordu à pleines dents et avec une véritable jubilation dans leur médaille de bronze. Hassan Yazdani

Share Spécialiste de la nage libre, l’Iranien Hassan Yazdani s’est surpassé, jeudi soir, face à l’Américain David Taylor, dans la catégorie des 86 kilos. C’est une médaille d’argent qui a récompensé sa superbe prestation, tel un poisson dans l’eau, dans le bassin de Tokyo.  Taybe Mustafa Yussin

Bajrang Punia assured of seeding at Olympics, placed No.2 in latest world rankings - other sports

New Post has been published on https://www.liveindiatimes.com/bajrang-punia-assured-of-seeding-at-olympics-placed-no-2-in-latest-world-rankings-other-sports/

Bajrang Punia assured of seeding at Olympics, placed No.2 in latest world rankings - other sports

Star Indian wrestler Bajrang Punia is assured of a top-four seeding in the 65kg category at next year’s Tokyo Olympics even if he skips the last ranking series tournament, going by the latest world standings.

The fast-rising Ravi Dahiya also seems set for a top-four billing at the mega-event, which will be held from July 23 to August 8 next year.

Wrestling’s world governing body UWW announced the fresh rankings which placed Bajrang at number two in the 65kg category. Dahiya is fourth in the very competitive 57kg category.

Russian Olympic champion Gadhzimurad Rashidov leads the 65kg rankings. Four Points separate Rashidov (60), Punia (59) and Kazakshtan’s Daulet Niyazbekov (56) for the top seeding.

But the Russian and Indian wrestlers have such commanding leads over the field that they can sit out of the final ranking series event and still earn a top-four seeding at the Olympic Games.

Rashidov owns the top spot in 65kg after finally claiming his long-awaited world gold in Nur-Sultan last season.

Punia began the year ranked number three with 25 points after his world bronze medal. He has overthrown world finalist Niyazbekov for the number two ranking.

Punia added 16 points to his world championship total after he erased a three-point deficit against Jordan Oliver (USA) to win the 16-point Matteo Pellicone Ranking Series gold medal.

Although he stumbled in the Asian finals against 2018 world champion Takuto Otoguro(JPN), Punia collected 18 points and pushed himself to within one point of the Russian defending world champion.

The 57kg is led by reigning world champion and number one from Russia Zaur Uguev (60 points).

World runner-up Suleyman Atli is firmly in the number two position after runner-up finishes at the World and European Championships. He has 58 points and is followed by Stevan Micic (48) and Dahiya (45).

Dahiya needs a 12-point finish at the final Ranking Series event to secure one of the top-four seeds. There is slim chance that the Indian wrestler can grab the number one seeding.

For that to happen, Dahiya would need Uguev, Atli and Micic to sit out of the final Ranking Series event and win gold in a bracket with more than 11 wrestlers to earn the 16 points he needs to clear his top-three rivals.

Nurislam Sanayev is ranked fifth in this weight and trails Dahiya by six points.

World Championship silver-medallist Deepak Punia is ranked second in 65kg behind Iranian great Hassan Yazdani, who underwent knee surgery earlier this year and had no choice but to skip the Matteo Pellicone and Asian Championships.

He commanded a 20-point lead over Deepak but the Indian wrestler closed that gap on Yazdani with a 14-point Asian championship bronze-medal finish.

Deepak leads Russian Artur Naifonov by seven points after the conclusion of the continental championship season.

No Indian figures in top-10 of the 74kg, 97kg and 125kg categories, the three other olympic weight categories. The top four in each category will be seeded at the Tokyo Games, pushed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
