The first and second placed, in addition to the two third and the winner of a match between the fifth placed. The Brazilian delegation will be formed by the following Greco-Roman style athletes: Joilson Júnior 77kg category of Greco-Roman style; Ronisson Brandão category 87kg; Igor Queiroz 97kg and Eduard Soghomonyan 130kg, Olympic athlete at the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Games. In men’s freestyle, Cesar Alvan competes in the 74kg category. In women’s freestyle, the vacancies will be sought: Kamila Barbosa of the 50kg division, Grabriela Pedro, 68kg, in addition to Giullia Penalber, 57kg, and Laís Nunes, 62kg category, athlete in the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Games.
Giullia Penalber and Laís Nunes will be seeded in their respective weight divisions, Giullia is currently fourth in the world ranking in the 62kg division, and Laís occupies the eighth place under 62kg. The athletes carry out the final preparation phase in Germany and France, before heading to Serbia.
“We are carrying out excellent preparation with athletes who will be at the World Championships. This exchange allows us to experience this pre-competitive stage with the reality we will find at the Worlds. That way we can make the necessary adjustments for the Championship in search of the Olympic vacancy. One less place will be disputed in the 2023 World Championship and one more place in the World Pre-Olympics in 2024, so I think that the seeding will not be a crucial factor as in the last Olympic selection”explained Giullia, 3rd place in the World Pre-Olympics for the Tokyo Games that classified two athletes in 2021.
