More surprisingly, no athletes were listed among the 300 or so entries, either in a generalist or specific category: perhaps, because of the significance of amateurism as a prevailing ethos in sport until the 1960s.

Specifikt undersöks push-notiser från Aftonbladet och Dagens Nyheter för att se vad som karaktäriserar det redaktionella innehåll som sänds ut via push- notiser. För att kartlägga de respektive dagstidningarnas användning av push-notiser tillämpas en kvantitativ innehållsanalys där push-notiserna kategoriseras utefter ett kodschema med bestämda variabler och variabelvärden. Studiens teoretiska ramverk har utgångspunkt i teorier om medielogik, nyhetsvärdering, hårda och mjuka nyheter samt kommersialisering och sensationsjournalistik. Utifrån teorin, samt tidigare forskning om vad som blir nyheter, skillnader mellan morgonpress och kvällspress samt rubrikanvändning, diskuteras studiens resultat.

Zhamalov, a 2019 U23 world champion, was one of four freestyle gold medalists for Russia on Thursday. In the 74kg final, Zhamalov scored the first point of the match off the activity clock and took a 1-0 lead into the break. Chamizo grabbed a 2-1 lead a minute into second period after securing a hard-fought takedown. Zhamlov kept the pressure on Chamizo, attempting a duck under with 25 seconds left. After Chamizo fended it off, Zhamalov came up with a body lock before eventually securing Chamizo's leg. With just under 10 seconds remaining, Zhamlov slipped behind Chamizo and scored a two-point action with two seconds remaining to earn the come-from-behind victory, 4-2. Zavur UGUEV (RUS) won the gold at 57kg (Photo: Kadir CALISKAN, UWW) Russia's other gold medals Thursday came from Zavur UGUEV (57kg), Alikhan ZHABRAILOV (92kg) and Shamil SHARIPOV (125kg).

    From: United World Wrestling Press [email protected] Subject: Wrestling Returns with Individual World Cup in Belgrade, Dec. 12-18 Date: December 11, 2020 at 1:00 PM To: [email protected] Links: UWW LIVE Preview Show Individual World Cup Event Page Greco-Roman Brackets BELGRADE, Serbia (December 10) -- The 2020 Individual World Cup gets underway Saturday in Belgrade, Serbia, with 505 wrestlers representing 51 different countries. Thirty weight categories in three styles will be contested over seven days of competition. The Individual World Cup is serving as a substitute event for the 2020 World Championships. The event was canceled after not fulfilling the criteria set forth by the UWW Bureau. The criteria included having at least 8 of 10 of the top nations from the 2019 World Championships and 70% of total athletes participate in 2020. The Individual World Cup represents international wrestling's return to competition and will lay the groundwork for safety protocols and countermeasures around all competitions. This will be vital to ensure a safe environment for future competitions in the lead up to the Tokyo Olympics. The event has a prize pool of 300,000 Swiss Francs, which will be divided evenly across the 30 weight categories. Thirty-one returning world medalists, including five returning world champions, are entered in the field. Olympic champion Davor STEFANEK (SRB) will compete at 67kg (Photo: Gabor MARTIN, United World Wrestling) The Individual World Cup opens Saturday with Greco-Roman competition, which will be headlined by four Rio Olympic champions: Artur ALEKSANYAN (ARM) at 97kg, Davit CHAKVETADZE (RUS) at 87kg, Davor STEFANEK (SRB) at 67kg and Roman VLASOV (RUS) at 77kg.
