I completely agree with what you said. Aside from Russia there isn't really any other country with both the resources, interest and population size to compete with Iran across a 10 weight world championships. Olympics definitely but not worlds. It would be nice if the US could develop some high quality greco guys to make the competition more competitive. Raney looks really promising and I think he could fill out to be a solid 60kg or 67kg guy in the future with the right coaching. Maybe he could come to Iran and we send some of our light weights to the US to train FS.

I felt like before the tournament we could send 5 guys to the finals (Esmaeili, Farokhi, Mohmedi, Saravi and Mirzazadeh). The over performance was more so I think at 55 and 63kg. Ahmadi beating Azizli and Keshtkar teching Muradov were completely out of nowhere results. Ahmadi is good but I didn't think he was that good shame he lost his finals match to another incredibly talented wrestler. 60 and 77 performed more or less to how I thought it would turn out in terms of not medalling. Its more a combination of Azerbaijan doing incredibly poorly and other heavy hitters losing early (Alexanyan, Luis Orta Sanchez etc).

I’d be down to cut Greco completely if it meant more participation in the freestyle ranking series.

Voting is political by that definition.

By that definition I dont think very many people are "political." Certainly whether they vote or not has little meaning.

political adjective po·lit·i·cal pə-ˈli-ti-kəl 1 a : of or relating to government, a government, or the conduct of government b : of, relating to, or concerned with the making as distinguished from the administration of governmental policy

Define political.

Are you saying a guy on a message board just made stuff up and then doubled down when asked?

Well if they were busy or forgot, that would also suggest they probably aren’t very political

So far, only Raney (7th place) and Bey (10th) have scored for us.

Last man standing for us is Payton Jacobson at 87kg. He'll be in the repechage tomorrow.

Somehow your turned thoughts on these 8 pro censorship humans? into a random personal attack about how children think without answering your thoughts on any of the 8 humans. Were I come from that is called that changing the subject boss.

You say things that make no sense. I didn't change the subject. You asked a question and I answered the question. That is the opposite of changing the subject. I do not know why I waste my time answering your queations becasue your responses are always nonsensical, underling.

Or maybe they didn't like any of the candidates, maybe they were busy, maybe they forgot or maybe they just plain didn't vote?

The left is crying much more boss. I notice every time we show a video of someone on the left being pro censorship or actually censoring folks during covid y’all change the subject. Good ol fashioned whataboutism

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”
