Tik tok is a cesspool for reasons, but sometimes useful for following wrestling. This last week was full of folks itching for violence after the Kirk shooting.

Yes. 19 next month.

Jax being fifth in the world at the age of 18 (I think) is insane. Wow.

In Snyder's final I think the difference is who is wrestling better at this moment. Could go either way but Snyder has got to be favorite. Snyder's run since 2015 is now approaching legendary GOAT status. If he can hold his body together 3 more years he could surpass Bruce, JB and Smith!

How do we feel about Team USA’s performance so far? Spencer: 1-1 (eliminated) - Disappointing. Jax: 3-2 (5th) - This feels really good, especially when you consider that he (arguably) should have been a medalist. Real: 1-1 (still hope for a bronze) - About what I expected. Duke: 1-1 (11th) - Can't be mad about this effort. Carr: 3-1 (going for bronze vs Sidakov) - About what I expected, but in retrospect it feels like he could have been a finalist. Haines: In the finals - Better than I expected. Zahid: Champ - Not a surprising result, but his dominance was at least slightly more that I expected. Hidlay: In the finals - Feels about right. Snyder: In the finals - Snyder just medals in world/Olympic events. Hopefully he can get another gold. Wyatt: 0-1 (17th) - Not that surprised, but slightly disappointing.

Also good match for azarpira but he's inconsistent first two matches he really looked bad . Snyder was lucky with the draw . Easy way to the final.

Honestly, only our book-ends laid a dud. Everyone else wrestled tough. Carr, Duke, Real, Jax - despite not bringing home Gold (or Silver) all wrestled to their potential (I think).

Now amouzad is the underdog. Hope he gets him this time. Jap is very good at countering underhooks .amouzad need to mix up his attacks

Outside of the bookends, pretty positive - will be interesting to see how much the delta is between USA and the top spot (barring a great USA finish) & the impact of those 2 results.

Team USA has had a great performance! Yes We expected more out of Spencer yet we didn't expect to be in the team hunt and we are. Can't say enough about our current staff and USA Wrestling system. We are continually competing for medals. Great job TEAM USA and finish strong!!!

That 97 semi leaves us with just one question: Just how damn good is Ahmad Bazri :)?

Also… RBY in the bronze medal match

Yes, Zahid beat him. Also, Kueter won U-20 worlds with Azapira in his bracket, though they did not wrestle. Then went home and played football.

That was a FILTHY headlock, that Japanese wrestler was 2xu17 and 2xu20 world champ. Maybe never lost an international match?

Meanwhile Emami is wrestling for Bronze in 74

not sure who's advocating for replacing folkstyle, but i like that it gives americans our own distinct style. that combined w/ the RTC system means our best guys get to develop both styles year-round if anything, i'd advocate replacing greco w/ folkstyle

Such a bizarre fixation on people different from you when the guy who *actually* did it (probably) looks a lot like you - white, Christian, non-college educated male studying to be an electrician. And there's that conservative fantasy of political violence again.

It's also wrong. It's a code from the video game Helldivers 2. You press the arrows in succession to drop the biggest bomb in the game. This has been well-established by now.

N Korean woman 55kg just pinned 2 time U20 world gold medalist from Japan, who is listed as only 19 on UWW site, unreal

Taz seemed to be able to move Azapira kinda however he wanted but didn't seem interested

I don't think most Iranians think Yaz is the favourite to beat Azarpira. Will be interesting, though.

Azarpira is the man. Taj is beatable!! should be a good final. Rematch of the Olympic bronze match, except this time Azarpira’s knee is not torn in the prior match.
