The other Bulgarian wrestler – Mimi Hristova – lost the 68 kg. semifinal to Feng Zhou, China. However, if she wins in the repechages she still stands a chance of taking part in the tournament in Paris.
So far, Olympic quotas have been won by Bilyana Dudova (62 kg.), Yuliana Yaneva (76 kg.), Aik Mnatsakanian (77 kg.) and Semen Novikov (87 kg.)
