Just heard that he was back in Montana -- coaching high school and starting a wrestling club. Sounds like he's aiming to build up Montana wrestling

Wouldn’t you say there’s a good chance that someone that doesn’t vote probably isn’t political? It’s possible Kirk’s opinions on gay/trans folks may have been the motive. Probably debatable whether that would be considered “politically motivated.”

How old do you think Obama was in 1973?

This is how a child thinks. They said so something I don't like, so I can do something worse. It is called throwing a tantrum.

Well it goes without saying...no, actually it needs to be said - you knownothing

If it was the guy on B I believe in one case he was calling the wrong Ukraine kid. Maksym Liu (?). He was saying Yevtushenko. I reported it but who knows.

See I peeked into my crystal ball

I am talking about one specific commentator. I'm pretty sure he just reads the wrestlers wikipedia entry or some other notes that he gathered. You can tell he's reading off something and is not watching the match when he does it.

It doesn’t, but it gives insight to his possible motive, which is looking like is not because he was a “left wing extremist”

John Fisher from Michigan. Are you positive that his 1990 loss to Reinoso was at Worlds and not Pan Ams? I mean, its not like he lost to Nick Marable or some of the other guys Burrough dropped matches to. For instance: 3 losses to some guy from Lock Haven. P.S. Just checked. The whole 1990 "loss in World Championships pool play to Reinoso?" Never happened. BTW I can't believe I'm diminishing Burroughs. Both guys belong on the USA Mt. Rushmore.

i don't agree. They're providing pertinent information, do you want them to contrive some intermediary power scaling framework for random people who are watching cause they got lost on the internet?

MP one of them fascinating folks.

The folks that know...know. The other folks have listened to commentary from college wrestling duals and found it fascinating, "Wikipedia entries" seems Highbrow to the, "fascinating" folks...

I am glad we could educate him.

The only wrestler in the US with a reasonable chance to win a bronze or silver medal is Bey. And Bey would still need a favorable draw (to avoid someone like Akzhol) and to be wrestling his best to actually do it. The rest of them are not good enough. Some of them I think aren't athletically gifted enough and they maneuvered their way into greco "safe spaces" after rude wake up calls in their folk style journeys (somewhat big fish moving into a small pond). A couple are fine athletes but are thousands of hours behind in greco mat time compared to their competitors. I think I saw a Flo guy named Brey complaining about why the 55 kg rep couldn't do what the US teen freestylers did. It's clueless and he doesn't even understand why the FS wrestlers in the US do well. Why should Raney beat someone like Azizli? He hasn't put in anywhere near the time, it's just winging it Braxton Amos style. It can work in juniors but you get exposed at seniors. (I'm not counting the Georgian adult transfer, since he is about as relevant to the actual state of US wrestling as Taz is to Bahrain).

Remember is the systemic racism of white men who drive blacks into their way of life. No matter what the issue it's white men and the white man system that is to blame

Iran GR is notable if not more...

GR was ripe for the taking. Russia was a paper tiger, coasting on the legacy and fumes of the soviet era in the 90s through 2010s. A country who put together a critical mass of participation and concentrated training from a young age could topple them. And it looks like Iran did. Congrats.

I'm not a fan of that guy who spends the fist two minutes of every bout reading a section of the wrestlers' wikipedia entries .... U20 bronze medalist, U23 silver, Asian championships Gold, Asian Games Silver medal. What's the point if you just rattle off 20 medals for both wrestlers and don't give any context to what they mean? Mentioning if one of them is a highly decorated legend or on a win streak is fine, but we don't need to know about their 5 man field continental bronzes and U20 accolades.

I think the current Amouzad is p4p best freestyle wrestler in the world. Shamil can push him no doubt and its good to fight for your position because it make you train harder .

This is what Wrestlestat is showing for Northern Iowa right now - vs what I think its going to be: 125: Trever Anderson - no argument here 133: Julian Farber - in agreement 141: Carter Freeman - I think Cory Land will take it 149: Caleb Rathjen - yep 157: Cael Rahnavardi - I think Ryder Downey or Jack Thomsen sucks down 165: Ryder Downey - see above 174: Jared Simma - yes 184: CJ Walrath - mm hm 197: Kalob Runyon - I think John Gunderson bumps up and surprises folks 285: Wyatt Volker - agreed

They really really are trying hard or just want him to be MAGA. It’s one reason Kimmel “didn’t say anything wrong”. 1038675309 does it almost every time there is a despicable act fwiw. saying he didn’t vote means he either isn’t political or a leftist. That way they don’t have to count it as a politically motivated murder.

This changes what he did and why, how??

That’s true. I was just looking at our results, but they were definitely impressively

Shirley you aren't suggesting Wkn is irrational? Although I did take an economics course in rational expectations/behavior and there was no mention of Wkn so ...
