11am(EDT) start for the medal round. D3

Medal matches are queued up now... https://arena.uww.org/sport-event/show/1f05bb86-940b-6504-95ef-a3e0f04ec8ff/live D3

Final 2 TD in garbage time... Hodgins will go for bronze w/ an 8-2 win. D3

Ummm...that's why Biden dropped out. We all saw it.

Under 30 secs... D3

Action again... scramble at mats edge... appears to be a 2 exposure for Hodgins but white paddled... Challenge by Hodgins AND it's won... 6-2 D3

4-2 at the break for Hodgins... D3

After a step out point for Turkyie... Hodgins gets another TD and puts a leglace on... but only 2 for the TD at the mats edge... D3

Curious how they are doing the actual brackets. At 79 KG the Ukrainian has beaten three of the bronze medal match wrestlers. The 4th was defeated by Ruiz.

BLAST DOUBLE FOR TWO!!! D3

Hodgins up on Mat B now (tanxs, due to a quick fall prior... ) D3

In other news: Ruiz is in the finals at 79 KG against the Ukrainian that beat Hamiti via Techfallery 11-0.

Those are some great problems to have.

tanxs, nhs. D3

Yes, the effort was there. D3

For those wondering: ZW column is the mat classification points and ZT is the points scored during the match. 3/1 means the wrestler shown first won via decision and the wrestler shown second scored at least one point. 1/3 would mean 2nd wrestler won. Example: Turner VS Vito shows ZW of 0/3 meaning Vito won a Decision via shutout. The ZT of 0/2 is the match score. See the screenshot below. I selected Fights (matches) and the weight class of 61 KG.

FS - 92 kg Repechage 777 (USA) Tanner James HODGINS (7) (TUR) Said RIZA (10) He'll be coming up on Mat B... IF he's wins that match, then he would be wrestling for bronze. D3

Yeah obviously Vito would have tried more at the end, but without the extra 2 and the lost challenge he would have been losing 6-6 on criteria. I did like that he seemed to take a good amount of shots at least.

LOL...thanks for proving my post correct...I love the way you try and claim I am the one who is bipolar for calling you bipolar...I indicated to you how I think you are a bipolar poster, care to try and back up your claim that I am...I'll wait.... By the way...WTF does Trump have to do with any of our back and forth??

“GMA First Look.” Thanks for confirming you “saw it on GMA” via a conservative clipping it. So no link to the Today show video? Now more on the left are talking about it, but it’s because we’ve reached the complaining about the complaining about the alleged complaining stage.

Meanwhile... as quick as it started.. Hodgins TF the Mongolian 10-0. (I had to watch that one from the start... as I caught the last 10 seconds of THAT bout, live.) D3

Appears that I was wrong...

WOAH... 71Kg repechage match between the Azerbiajanin & Georgian ended w/ a possible game winning 4 pt move by Georgia.. but THAT move LOOKED like the banned Flying Squirrel move. But instead, it was scored a 2... AND the Georgian "won" the challenge BUT lost the bout 12-10. Still... Wow! D3

With regards to Olympic golds in freestyle they are just very hard to get with only 6 anva every 4 years and small margins make big difference.Iran was in the running for 86 kg but the shoulder issue came up. For 125 Geno came up with very aggressive tactics and Zare was not that type of wrestler to mirror that type of westling ( think back to the prior year where Geno actually slapped him in the final) and at 65 Amouzad got caught in the leg lace of dome( here questions are being asked of the technical committee why Iranians keep getting caught against Japan in this way). on the positive side the elite Iranian wrestlers are usually have long careers and medal regularly. For example the often overlooked Nokhodi at 18 won an Asian senior bronze medal and at 24 has 2 world silver and 2 world bronze to add to that. Not many 24 year olds in the USA or Japan can boast his accomplishments and he does not get much headlines. This is set against competition that includes Russia and the Russian exports( Including Taz, Ramazanov, Valiev Salakzanov, Tsabalov etc) Japan( in the lower weight) USA and the rest of the world. looks like to me we expect the freestyle team to get multiple gold medals in the Olympics and with every single wrestler wrestling like Saitiev and demolishing their opponents with technical falls in spectacular fashion.This seems very unrealistic .If Firouzpour wins the gold medal at 92 kg in freestyle wrestling in the style of current Iranian wrestling keeping a disciplined stance with underhooks and high forward pressure then that’s still a very high achievement given the level of the competition that is around and I will take that for sure.

It’s still all over the news almost a week later. CNN, NBC etc …… liberal tears are still flowing over an ad about blue jeans. Woke is a joke.
