14 is the magic number, as two men's freestyle and two women's freestyle weights have been qualified, of the 18 possible (6 Greco, 6 Men's Free, 6 Women's Free). Only allowed to send wrestlers in weight classes not yet qualified, and then only one wrestler. Top two places earn their country the spot, regardless of whether that wrestler is the one that goes to the Olympics.

Zain is on the opposite side of the bracket from the Cuban (Tobier), whom he lost 10-9 in a previous tournament
DT is on the same side as the Cuban Torreblanca. They should meet in the semis. DT has beaten Torreblanca two or three times, but Dieringer just lost to him.
Gilman gets the Cuban (Ortega) in his 2nd match. Gilman lost to him in 2018 7-4.
Gwiz is in Group B with a Cuban (Romero) and a guy from Puerto Rico
Freestyle action is Sunday. Greco on Friday and womens on Saturday

That's what the VPN is for.the stream is available for free to computers located in russia
Greco, thus far, USA only (includes last bout);
60kg - Hafizov over Brazil, gets MEX in semi's
67kg - Sancho over Dominicum Rep, gets MEX in semi's
77kg - Smith over Canada, gets CUBA in semi's
87kg - Rau wins over Venezuela, has JAM in semi's
97kg - Hancock over Canada in pool play, has HON in semi's
130kg - Coon lost vs Chile
Update: Rau (87kg) won on criteria, gets JAM in semi's (also changed above)
Remember, top-2 earn their country the weight for the Olympics. Next win for all the guys except at 130kg, will earn the weight.

They are not wrestling true second at this tournament. Both finalists qualify and that's it.

All six women's weight classes were qualified for the Olympics today.
The NLWC's Alma Jane Valencia becomes the first Mexican woman wrestler to qualify for the Olympics and does so in style, pinning current world champ Linda Morais (CAN).
Was hoping somebody would post this. Pretty huge stuff! Awesome.
Geez. Call the pin already! That was like Conel-Moore
Why is she not on the home page for NLWC?
