CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY (April 10) -- United World Wrestling has approved a seeding of the top four athletes in each weight category at the 2017 World Championships in Paris. The seeding is based on the results of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio (BRA), the 2016 Senior World Championship in Budapest (HUN) and the 2017 Senior Continental Championships

The points will be awarded as follows:

*If a weight category only has one bronze medal (by example Nordic System), the athlete ranked in the fourth place will get 7 points.

The number of participants for each event also effects the points calculation. For instance, if at 70 kg, there were 40 participants at the World Championships, the world champion will receive 25 + 40 pts = 65 points. This way, competitions with many participants will award more points than the ones with fewer participants.

An athlete only receives points within the weight class they participated at the Olympic Games, World Championship and the Continental Championship. Seeding is also linked directly to the athlete, not the national federation. If the National Wrestling Federation replaces the concerned athlete, they will lose this position and the conventional drawing-of-lots shall be administered.

Position of the top seed athletes in the bracket

N°1:     He/She will be paired at the first position of the bracket (top of the upper part)
N°2:     He/She will be paired at the last position of the bracket (bottom of the lower part)
N°3:     He/She will be paired at the top of the lower part of the bracket
N°4:     He/She will be paired at the bottom of the upper part of the bracket

If there is a qualification round, the top seeded athletes will be paired last. If the number of athletes oblige the top seeds to participate in the qualification round then it will progress from N°4, N°3, N°2 and then N°1.

Example of a bracket with 17 to 32 athletes:

If the number of registered athletes is between 17 and 28, the top seeds athletes won’t have a qualification round. The bouts of the qualification round will be paired from the bottom to the top of the bracket by avoiding the top seeds.

  • If 29 athletes are registered, the top seed N°4 will participate in the qualification round.
  • If 30 athletes are registered, the top seed N°4 and N°3 will participate in the qualification round.
  • If 31 athletes are registered, the top seeds N°4, N°3 and N°2 will participate in the qualification round.
  • If 32 athletes are registered, we will have the perfect number and the competition will start from the 1/16 of finals for all the athletes.

This system will be also followed for the bracket with 9 to 16 athletes.

If one or several top seeds athlete(s) is not entered (replaced or not registered), the next top seed will take his place. No other athlete will be able to replace a top seed. Wrestlers shall be paired off in the order of the numbers they drew. 

Freestyle Rankings

Women's Wrestling

Greco-Roman Rankings

 

تعداد شرکت کنندگان هر وزن نیز بر محاسبه امتیازات تاثیرگذار است. برای مثال اگر در وزن 70 کیلوگرم 40 شرکت کننده در مسابقه‌های جهانی حضور داشته باشند قهرمان جهان 65=40+25 امتیاز دریافت می‌کند. در این سیستم مسابقه‌هایی که تعداد شرکت کنندگانش بیشتر باشد امتیاز بیشتری دارد.

 

هر کشتی‌گیر تنها در هر وزنی که در مسابقه‌های المپیک، جهانی و قاره‌ای شرکت کرده باشد، امتیازاتش در همان وزن محاسبه می‌شود. همچنین این سیدبندی مربوط به خود کشتی‌گیر می‌شود و به فدراسیون ملی او ارتباطی نخواهد داشت. اگر فدراسیون کشتی یک کشور فرد دیگری را جایگزین کشتی‌گیر مربوطه کند، موقعیت کشتی‌گیر قبلی در سیدبندی از بین می‌رود و کشتی گیر جایگزین شده به صورت قرعه‌کشی در مسابقه‌ها شرکت می‌کند.

 

موقعیت چهار کشتی‌گیر برتر در جدول هر وزن به ترتیب زیر است:

 

کشتی‌گیر شماره یک در سیدبندی: این کشتی‌گیر در مکان نخست قسمت بالایی جدول قرار می‌گیرد.

 

کشتی‌گیر شماره دو در سیدبندی: این کشتی‌گیر در مکان آخر از قسمت پائینی جدول قرار می‌گیرند.

 

کشتی‌گیر شماره سه در سیدبندی: این کشتی‌گیر در مکان نخست قسمت پایینی جدول قرار می‌گیرد.

 

کشتی‌گیر شماره چهار در سیدبندی: این کشتی‌گیر در مکان آخر از قسمت بالای جدول قرار می‌گیرد.

 

اگر دور مقدماتی نیز لازم به انجام مسابقه باشد، کشتی‌گیران برتر سیدبندی در پایین قرار می‌گیرند. اگر تعداد کشتی‌گیران شرکت کننده طوری باشد که چهار کشتی‌گیر برتر سیدبندی شده مجبور به حضور در دور مقدماتی باشند، به ترتیب از کشتی‌گیر چهارم تا نخست مبارزه خواهند کرد.

 

برای مثال جدولی که 17 تا 32 کشتی‌گیر در آن حضور دارند به ترتیب زیر است:

 

اگر تعداد شرکت کنندگان بین 17 تا 28 نفر است 4 کشتی‌گیر برتر سیدبندی، در دوره‌های نخست مسابقه نخواهند داد. بنابراین مسابقه‌های مقدماتی از انتها به بالای جدول خواهد بود تا کشتی‌گیران سیدبندی شده در دور نخست مسابقه ندهند.

 

اگر مسابقه‌ها 29 شرکت کننده داشته باشد تنها کشتی‌گیر شماره 4 سیدبندی در دور مقدماتی شرکت می‌کند.

 

اگر مسابقه‌ها 30 شرکت کننده داشته باشد، نفرات شماره 3 و شماره 4 سیدبندی در دور مقدماتی شرکت می‌کنند.

 

اگر مسابقه‌ها 31 شرکت کننده داشته باشد، کشتی‌گیران چهارم، سوم و دوم سیدبندی در دور مقدماتی شرکت می‌کنند.

 

اگر مسابقه‌های 32 شرکت کننده داشته باشد، تعداد نفرات کامل است و همه کشتی‌گیران از مرحله یک شانزدهم نهایی مسابقه‌های خود را انجام می‌دهند.

 

اگر یکی از 4 کشتی‌گیر برتر سیدبندی شده در مسابقه‌ها شرکت نکند و یا کشتی‌گیر دیگری جایگزین او شده باشد، نفر بعدی در سیدبندی جای او را خواهد گرفت و کشتی‌گیر دیگری نمی‌تواند جایگزین نفری که شرکت نکرده است شود.

ZAGREB, Croatia (February 8) -- Kennedy BLADES (USA) may have changed her weight class but there was no change in her style. Wrestling at 68kg, down from 76kg in which she won the Paris Olympics silver medal, Blades won the gold medal at Zagreb Open Ranking Series on Friday.

In a round-robin bracket which had four bouts for each wrestler, Blades was a notch above the rest as she secured two falls and two victory via superiority with none of the four bouts going to the second period.

Blades had moved from 76kg to 68kg for this tournament and is expected to remain at this weight class for the Los Angeles Olympic cycle.

"I feel really good," Blades said about the weight cut. "I ate the night so I'm just happy that I have a lot of energy still, and I was able to use my power, even though same day weigh-in. I'm feeling great."

Blades began the day with a fall over Kendra DACHER (FRA) and another over world bronze medalist Adela HANZLICKOVA (CZE) before Noémi SZABADOS (HUN) became the victim of her pace. Blades' moment of the day came in the Round 5 in the evening session when she launched a near-perfect suplex against Karolina POK (HUN). She was awarded five points for the suplex.

"I feel like a lot of people overlook wrestling," she said. "So I just want to make it as exciting as possible, and if I can do a big move or make it like, oh, then I just go for the big move."

The move over Pok reminded wrestling fans of the beautiful suplex Blades performed over Catalina AXENTE (ROU) at the Paris Olympics in the first bout itself. Blades went on to win the silver medal, and five months later she has captured her first Ranking Series gold medal using the same move.

"I've just been with my college team at University of Iowa," she said. "After Olympics, I only took about two weeks off because I was like I have college season. So I eased into it. I've just been competing and training hard and I just feel very prepared for what's to come."

At 68kg, Amit ELOR (USA) is the Olympic champion but with a new Olympic cycle, it is expected that she will be at 72kg before moving around to decide which weight class is beneficial for her. Blades hinted she will remain at 68kg for the World Championships.

"Honestly, I'm still deciding what I want to do," Blades said. "But I just feel really good at this whole tournament. I know it was plus two kilos, but I mean, I weighed like 68.9kg and I was like hydrated. So I'm like I'm fine. We'll see. I feel like it might be the move, so I just have to talk to my coaches, I'm going to figure some things out."

The U.S. won another gold medal at 62kg as Adaugo NWACHUKWU (USA) won three bouts in the round-robin bracket, keeping a clean slate.

Nwachukwu was in trouble of finishing second as former world champion Bilyana DUDOVA (BUL) was winning 2-0 with less than 20 seconds left. However, Nwachukwu got a takedown and a turn to win the bout and confirm her gold medal.

In an all Azerbaijan final at 59kg, Hiunai HURBANOVA (AZE) defeated Alyona KOLESNIK (AZE), 4-2, winning the gold medal.

Greco-Roman also began on Friday and Iran had a forgetful day in office. Treating the Zagreb Open as a trial for the Asian Championships, Iran had brought multiple wrestlers in various categories.

But it failed to win gold medal in the two Greco-Roman weight classes in action on Friday and drew a blank at 67kg.

U20 world champion Ahmadreza MOHSEN NEZHAD (IRI) dropped his semifinal against Valentin PETIC (MDA) 6-1 and then lost his bronze medal bout. Haavard JOERGENSEN (NOR) stopped Mohammadreza GHOLAMI (IRI), 10-1, in the other semifinal.

Joergensen capped off his day with a stunning 9-1 win over Petic in the 67kg to win the gold medal.

At 63kg, U23 world silver medalist Dinislam BAMMATOV (AIN) dominated the field and defeated Mohammad KESHTKAR (IRI), via fall in the final to win the gold medal.
