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. Focken (pictured) defeated 2012 world champ Jenny FRANSSON (SWE) to move ahead of reigning world champ Natalia VOROBIEVA (RUS), while Wiebe followed with a 5-1 victory over Vasilisa MARZULIUK (BLR) to slip past the 2015 world bronze medalist. At 48kg, Patricia BERMUDEZ (ARG) avenged a technical fall loss to Valentina ISLAMOVA (RUS) in Dormagen with an 11-8 win in Sassari to bound from 14th to No.9.

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.

  • Navigating Athlete Citizenship: the Negotiation of Rights, Roles and Responsibilities by Canadian Olympians
    Navigating Athlete Citizenship: The Negotiation of Rights, Roles and Responsibilities by Canadian Olympians by Rosannagh MacLennan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Exercise Sciences University of Toronto © Copyright by Rosannagh MacLennan 2018 Navigating Athlete Citizenship: The Negotiation of Rights, Roles and Responsibilities by Canadian Olympians Rosannagh MacLennan Master of Science Department of Exercise Sciences University of Toronto 2018 Abstract Forms of citizenship expand beyond those based on nation-state to involve populations at both sub-national and transnational levels (Roche, 2002; Yuval-Davis, 2006; Sindic, 2011). This research examines the athlete citizenry including (1) institutionalized meanings related to rights, roles, and responsibilities of high-performance athletes; and (2) the range of meanings of athlete citizenship negotiated by athletes. Document analysis and interviews with athletes and key informants have been deployed to synthesize an athlete citizenship framework. Findings from this research are: (1) athletes express a sense of belonging to a transnational community of high- performance and Olympic athletes; thus, it is possible to derive a definition of athlete citizenry by examining the athlete community through broader models of citizenship; (2) further work is needed to uphold and expand athletes’ rights; (3) athletes with recent high-performance success tend to engage in social initiatives to derive ‘deeper’ meaning from their sporting experiences. ii Acknowledgments I am incredibly grateful for my supervisory committee who have supported my academic journey, inspiring, guiding, challenging and educating me. Each has pushed me to explore the sporting world in which I live through a scholarly lens.

Tkach came from behind in the semifinals to secure a fall over the reigning world champ and then edged XU Rui (CHN), 3-0, in the final to ensure her return to the top of the rankings at 63kg for the first time in a year. Tkach first rose to the top of the rankings with the women’s middleweight world title in 2014, but stumbled to No.2 after a loss to Valerie LAZINKSAYA (RUS) at last year’s European Games. Meanwhile, world and Olympic Games champion Kaori ICHO (JPN), stunned with a loss at the Yarygin Grand Prix in January, was the only other top-ranked wrestler in action in June, stopping a pair of would-be challengers from Azerbaijan to win the Poland Open at 58kg. Another pair of wrestlers battling for their country’s ticket for Rio 2016 at 58kg took their battle to 60kg and a five-wrestler round-robin at the Poland Open.

The CIS contingent, which represents over half of the 314 athletes on the 2016 Canadian Olympic Team, includes 81 current, incoming or former CIS student-athletes, and 77 athletes who have either competed in non-CIS sports, or studied at CIS institutions. “We are extremely proud of all our athletes competing at the Rio 2016 Olympics with ties to university sports in Canada,” said Graham Brown, chief executive officer of CIS. “Each of them epitomize the dedication and passion of our student-athletes nationwide and we wish them the best of luck as they strive for gold.” Kylie Masse (LaSalle, Ont.), the 2016 BLG Award winner as CIS Female Athlete of the Year, is one of seven current or future CIS athletes heading to Rio this summer. Masse, a swimmer heading into her third year with the University of Toronto, represented Canada at the 2015 Summer Universiade and is the Canadian record holder in the 100-metre backstroke. Masse is joined at the Summer Games by fellow Varsity Blue Gabriela Stafford (Toronto, Ont.), who competes in track and field, York Lions track and field athlete Brittany Crew (East York, Ont.), and swimmers Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson (Ottawa, Ont.), Emily Overholt (West Vancouver, B.C.) and Markus Thormeyer (Tsawwassen, B.C.) of UBC, as well as Evan Van Moerkerke (Tillsonburg, Ont.) of Guelph.
