WATCH NOW #WrestleTokyo FS 97

Abdulrashid SADULAEV (RUS), Kyle SNYDER (USA) and Sharif SHARIFOV (AZE) head into the Tokyo Olympic Games looking to add a second Olympic title to their storied resumes. Sadulaev and Snyder won Olympic titles in Rio while Sharifov claimed his gold at the London Olympic Games. Sadualev is unbeatably the world's top wrestler across all styles. The 25-year-old, who hails from the village of Tsurib, Dagestan, is up a weight class from his Rio title-winning weight of 86kg.

#WrestleTokyo WW 50

In one of those wild twists of fate that adds to the appeal of sports, Yanan SUN (CHN) and Mariya STADNIK (AZE) can be indirectly credited with helping Yui SUSAKI (JPN) get to the Tokyo Olympics. Now those two and the rest of the ﬁeld in the women's 50kg division will have to contend with the unintended result of their largesse. Although unseeded, Susaki will be the prohibitive favorite when they all take to the mat at Makuhari Messe on Aug. 6-7.

The other trio of seeded wrestlers included '19 world-medal winners Bajrang BAJRANG (IND), Daulet NIYAZBEKOV (KAZ) and Iszmail MUSZUKAJEV (HUN).
