Career and Style
Wang is one of the most skilled judoka of his generation. He combines precise technique with speed as anybody else. Especially his Te-Waza (Seoi-Nagi, Tai-Otoshi) are phenomenal and could be compared with seoi-nagi of Toshihiko Koga and other judo players of old time.
To the perfection Wang is missing one thing the luck. His Olympic experiences are almost like tragedies...
In 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in quaterfinal match against Guilheiro he hardly bruised his ribs and in final match against Məmmədli he lost in beggining of the match with controversial ippon which was not ippon. Referee just did not notice it because of quickness that he did not tough ground with back. This time there was no videoreferee who could correct it.
In 2012 London Olympic Games in second round in match against Ibragimov he did a mistake and Kazakh judoka cought him in Juji-Gatame (armlock). When he was traying to escape from armlock he tored ligaments in right elbow. He won this match but next matches presented by him were very defensive. He was wainting for the right moment when to throw opponent and in seminfinal match against Isayev the right moment did not come. So he lost and lost also next match for Bronze medal against Legrand who already beated him 2011 World Championships.
Last sesons 2011 and 2012 were not such succesful for Wang. His main problem is probably the fact that he must lose weight before tournaments. For young man this is not problem but for seniors, adults (23, 24...) this is problem (bad mood, always hungry...). It's very possible that he will soon move to Half-Middleweight (-81kg).
