    From: Tim Foley [email protected] Subject: Yoshida, Icho, American Duo Lead in Pre-Olympic Women’s Rankings Date: July 27, 2016 at 4:25 PM To: [email protected] Yoshida, Icho, American Duo Lead in Pre-Olympic Women’s Rankings By William May, United World Wrestling CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY (July 26) – Saori YOSHIDA (JPN) and Kaori ICHO (JPN) complete another championship cycle atop their weight categories in the pre-Olympic United World Wrestling rankings for women’s wrestling in July. It is the fourth summer in a row since the international rankings were first created for United World Wrestling predecessor, FILA, that Yoshida and Icho are heading into the world meet holding the top ranking in their respective categories. This year, however, Yoshida and Icho are not looking ahead to the world championships but rather have set their sights on winning gold medals in an unprecedented fourth Olympic Games in a row. Meanwhile, the world champion duo Helen MAROULIS (55kg) and Adeline GRAY (75kg) have remained unchallenged in their categories, keeping an eye on becoming the first Olympic Games gold medalists in women’s wrestling for the United States. Valerie KOBLOVA (RUS) Icho, who suffered her first loss on the mat since 2003 in January, came back with a decisive triumph at 58kg at the Poland Open in June, but has watched as 2014 world silver medalist Valerie KOBLOVA (RUS) won the Spanish Grand Prix in July and climbed to No.2 in the rankings. Yoshida, meanwhile, has not been seen since last September’s world championships in Las Vegas, but will be ready for European champion Sofia MATTSSON (SWE), the silver medalist to Yoshida in each of the last three world meets this Olympic cycle.

  • Wrestling Roundup: Russia Men Still Dominates, Japan Women Repeats Glory 08:50, August 22, 2008
    Wrestling Roundup: Russia men still dominates, Japan women repeats glory 08:50, August 22, 2008 Russia continued its dominance in wrestling, one of world's oldest sports, at the Beijing Olympics, while Japanese female wrestlers made the same achievements as they did in Athens. In particular, Russia topped the medal tally with six golds, three silvers and two bronzes, followed by Japan and Georgia with two golds. China, Uzbekistan, the United States, Canada, France, Turkey, Cuba and Italy got one each. * RUSSIAN MEN'S DOMINANCE* Before the Olympics, people expected to see Russia continue their ruling in men's freestyle wrestling, after it won six of seven titles in World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan. At the Athens Games, Russia ranked first with 5-2-3, all golds from men's wrestling. In all, Russia won six of eighteen wrestling golds at the Beijing Games, three in Greco- Roman and three in freestyle. They failed to move further in men's freestyle, while the Greco- Roman won one more than they had four years ago. Nazyr Mankiev opened the gate of victory as he won men's Greco-Roman 55kg title, which was also the first gold of wrestling events at the Beijing Olympics. Islam-Beka Albiev of 60kg and Aslanbek Khushtov of 96kg separately triumphed in their categories, which let Russia win golds totally different from they won in Athens. Russia won Greco-Roman golds in 84kg and 120kg divisions. Athens winner in freestyle 55kg Mavlet Batirov moved up to 60kg category in 2006 and easily won golds at Beijing.

Icho and Yoshida have won gold medals at their previous three Olympic Games and will be favorites to go where no wrestler – male or female – has gone before when they arrive on the mats at Carioca Arena 2 on Wednesday and Thursday. Greco-Roman legend Alexander KARELIN (RUS) is the only wrestler to have had a glimpse of a fourth gold medal when he advanced to the 130kg final at Sydney 2000. He had to settle for the silver medal, however, after a 1-0 loss to Rulon GARDNER (USA). According to an IOC Factsheet released October 2015, the only winners of four gold medals in the same individual events in the Olympic Games are Paul ELVSTROM (DEN, 1948-1960) in sailing, Al OERTER (USA, 1956-1968) in the discus throw and Carl LEWIS (USA, 1984-1996) in the long jump. Icho will get first chance at a fourth gold medal on Wednesday, August 17, when the women’s welterweights (58kg) take to the mat, while Yoshida takes her shot the following day at 53kg.

Koblova was the winner of bronze and silver medals in the world championships in 2013 and 2014 before having to sit out the 2015 world meet with a knee injury. Her return to action, however, was punctuated by a pair of technical falls, including a 10-0 triumph over European under-23 champion Tatyana KIT (UKR) in the Istanbul semifinals. Also, at the women’s welterweight, PUREVDORJ Orkhon (MGL) romped through the field in the Sassari International for her second tournament title of 2016 in an effort to convince the Mongolian coaching staff that she deserves the right to wrestle in Rio. Purevdorj, who stunned reigning world and Olympic Games champion Kaori ICHO (JPN) in the final of the Yarygin Grand Prix in January, saddled 2014 world champ and teammate SUKHEE Tserenchimed (MGL) with a 12-2 technical fall in the Sassari semifinals and edges up to No.8. Meanwhile, 2014 world champion Aline FOCKEN (GER) and Erica WIEBE (CAN) claimed the German Grand Prix titles at 69kg and 75kg, respectively, to climb to No.2 in the light heavyweight and heavyweight categories.

  • Women's Wrestling Report for CPOW
    THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN’S WRESTLING Report prepared by Dr. David Curby (USA)-FILA Scientific Department In the overall history of wrestling, the development of women’s wrestling has been dramatic. In roughly one generation, we have come from having the novelty of seeing a very few young girls competing in age-group or high school events, to women competing for Olympic medals. During this same time there have been changes in the views of the scientific and medical fields regarding women and their athletic capabilities. I t was only in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games that women were allowed to run in events longer than 1,500 meters, with the addition of the 3,000 meters and the marathon. With the growth of women’s sports, we are finding that there are more similarities in sports training and performance of men and women, than there are differences. Participation data from the National Federation of High School Associations list the first girls in their survey results for the 1979-80 school year. These numbers have steadily grown to over 8,000 for the 2011-12 school year and accounts for 3% of the 280,000 total participants. Data from USA Wrestling shows a similar pattern. Membership totals, separated by gender, are available beginning in 1995, and lists 1,525 girls and women. This had grown to 4,724 in 2012. California, Washington, Kansas and Texas have the most female competitors. Internationally, the roots of women’s wrestling are in France. Following the establishment of female wrestling clubs and hosting a first national championship in 1973, female wrestling was adopted by the French Wrestling Federation in 1977.
