Zagreb Open Rosters Released
Monday, February 4, 2019 - 18:11 By Eric Olanowski
ZAGREB, Croatia (February 4) - The Zagreb Open, United World Wrestlings first Greco-Roman Ranking Series event, starts this Saturday in Zagreb, Croatia. Nearly 40 age-group and senior-level world medalists, along with London Olympic champion KIM Hyeonwoo (KOR) and Rio Olympic bronze medalist Elmurat TASMURADOV (UZB) are set to compete for the all-important Ranking Series points.
This will be the first Greco-Roman Ranking Series event where the revamped point structure will be used. This tournament is especially important because the seeding process at the 2019 Astana World Championships takes into account the number of points competitors accumulate from last year's World Championships, along with the Continental Championships and the Ranking Series events.
The three remaining Greco-Roman Ranking Series events are the Hungarian Grand Prix (February 23), the Sassari (May 24), and the Oleg Karavaev (July 26).
2019 Ranking Series Point Structure
GOLD - 8 points
SILVER - 6 points
BRONZE - 4 points
Fifth - 2 points
