Mixed results for the French team at the TQO in Baku (Azerbaijan). Mamadassa Sylla had however launched the Blues perfectly on Friday by winning her Olympic ticket in Greco-Roman, but the rest of the French clan did not follow this weekend, with no qualification on Saturday in women’s wrestling and Sunday in freestyle wrestling. The last hope of seeing the Paris Games at the beginning of August will therefore be played out from May 9 to 12 during the final world TQO in Istanbul (Türkiye).
On Saturday, Ameline Douarré (-62 kg) and Pauline Lecarpentier (-76 kg) came closest to qualifying, beaten in the semi-finals and therefore at the gates of the Games, since only the finalists inherited the Olympic sesame. Julie Sabatié (-50 kg) lost in the quarter-finals, when Tatiana Debien (-53 kg) and Mathilde Rivière (-57 kg) were beaten as soon as they entered the fray.
Massacre in freestyle wrestling
In freestyle wrestling this Sunday, the competition came to an end for the French. Ilman Mukhtarov (-57 kg), Khamzat Arsamerzouev (-65 kg), Zelimkhan Khadjiev (-74 kg) and Adlan Viskhanov (-97 kg) all gave in as soon as they entered the fray. Rakhim Magamadov (-86 kg) is the only one to have won his first match, before breaking in the quarter-finals.
