They've taken the old bald official off the replay controller and the young guy that is super quick has replaced him which is great as we're still 7 matches out from Khosary with America's last chance to win a match on the GR front side then all the women in quick succession.
And bald guy is back to slow things down.

Half a gut then goes out front for head pinch and is reversed and turned. 3-3 penalty and Khosravy back down 5-3 UZB and Khosravy reversal makes it 5-4 UZB at the break off an bad head pinch attempt.
2nd
Lots of aggressive pushing until Khosravy goes down. Pony tail official is pretty bad.Low gut for turn 8-4 UZB Khosravy arm spin that this official doesn't recognize as a slip so TD UZB before a conference and it's taken away. Between pony tail and the blond lady it's bad. Khosravy with the TD 8-6 30 left. Khosravy is gassed.slips on another arm spin and loses 8-6

Kaura Coles of Canada has won her match against a badly gassing wrestler from India, keeping Whiting eligible for repechage. Kaura is a women's wrestling coach at Bishop McCort High School. That explains the pace.
I've been mostly praising the officiating so far this tournament. There have been some mistakes like in Bowling's 1-1 loss where they went OB and replay overturned the call on the mat but didn't correct it. It was either a step out, correct throw or leg foul as athletes can't go OB with neither scoring. That seems like quibbling compared to the traveshamockery that was today's officiating. I mean it's been really bad.
I think the issue is asking them to switch styles at will and that's what's causing the night and day difference between days. Plus having a person who is seeming to struggle with technology handling the replay apparatus might not be the best idea.

While your PBP is top tier... your evisceration of the refs are timeless. LOL
I only watched the sequence once, but I thought I saw a quick outside trip… that’s not legal in Greco, is it?
IF that was the call, it should have been points for the foul.
Coles was just beating Li (China) 8-7 and had Li beyond gassed. Officials had a conference for a minute while Li recovered. Coles gassed her again and won 14-7 but this incompetence looks worse as it's starting to look intentional. Wrestling isn't strong enough to withstand the shenanigans again that gave us side officials.
It's not.
But I will give Lalovic this... Ref shenanigans do NOT repeat themselves. Nor do the referees who commit them. I think he clearly understands that any corruption will lead to the end of the wrestling as an Olympic sport (which the IOC made very clear)
My last comment on the officiating. There's some really great officials here which only contrasts the stark reality of constant poor officiating.
In one of the GR matches, during a conference an official was putting both hands behind his head pulling clearly indicating he saw an illegal move, the corner challenged moments after seeing that and won the challenge changing the score from losing 5-4 to winning 6-3 and won the match as the opponent went for desperation. That challenge totally changed the outcome of the match but the question is why didn't the official score it correctly the first time if they saw the foul. Some officials agree to agree knowing it can be changed by replay, others seem intimidated by others on their team and some seem to ignore paddles on passivity when they are on the mat.
The first two days of U20s seemed to have a few corners upset at the officiating. Today is a night and day difference. It seems like every other match has upset corners and wrestlers. If it's this bad when free starts, there's going to be a lot of naked Mongolians.
You can go back through my comments in this thread where I was praising how much better this seemed than U17s, especially replay speed but today it fell back into incompetence or worse.

Williams in the hole on A, Hanrahan in the hole on C. We need one more quick match on C to clear the conflict.
Pohl -Germany 65kg Womens got screwed by this schedule. Wrestled 4 matches apart. UWW site has her 1/8 as "live" due to lag and she's wrestling the 1/4s.
