Given the amount of participants, money, quality youth clubs training kids from very young ages, and wrestling infrastructure that the US has compared the rest of the world, you'd expect Americans to dominate wrestling the way China does in ping pong. But they don't. Somehow a plucky little tag team of Dagestan+Ossetia and Mazandaran are able to match them. I think it's thanks to Folk style that we have the current rough parity at the top. There is this misconception that wrestling outside of America works the same way as in America, just on mini scale. In a lot of what would be considered the Tier 2 nations, the entire wrestling scene is a club or two in the capital plus one other big city and maybe one military run program. That's it.

They should roll over and ask them to be nicer next time. Maybe that will work.

More winger lies. I never said those things were ok but that doesn't give Israel a license to commit genocide and starve thousands of kids to death. They're sick and subhuman.

Problem is. Greco is a distant third in popularity in the USA. No one cares about it. I think you are aware of this.

You support them flying over the boarder. Killing civilians … taking hostages. Not releasing them. Using civilians as human shields. Rape etc. then cry when you get punched much much harder. Who is the dumb one here?

You're probably serious. A new winger conspiracy theory every minute.

They're savages but the hard right in Israel is just as bad. The difference is that we support the genocidal maniacs in Israel. The average citizen in Gaza is not part of Hamas. Most of the murders by Israel are just kids.

Hmm. Seems inconsistent. Earlier you were saying that we don't need to convert folk into free since we just won Cadet free. By that logic (that changing folk rules depends on success in the international styles) I figured you were saying that since we got throttled in Cadet greco that must mean we ought to make folk more like greco. Seemed like solid logic to me.

So so dumb. This is like you telling me that you're gonna kill some joe schmoe somewhere that I don't know unless I give you something. Then blame it on me when you follow through. The idiocy of the right grows by the minute.

Takedown, 5-2 Hamiti. Another TD, 7-2. I think an exposure, 9-2. Takedown Switzerland, 9-4. And that’s how it ends. Switzerland guy did have a Russian-sounding name.

To be honest with you - I don't even understand what it means in a technical sense to be in the portal. He isn't listed there on WrestleStat, but that may not be the be-all and end-all

Dumb for anybody to think they won't take food. They want to eat too. You think they're supposed to let themselves starve if they can help it? The idiocy of the right is unreal.

Just release the hostages. Then you can whine why didn’t Israel stop if they don’t. those savage monsters (that you support) probably ground them up already. That’s likely why they aren’t releasing them.

No I am saying leave folkstyle alone. Keep the freestyle season…. turning folkstyle into freestyle will ruin our sport. Meh Greco. Do what you want with it. keep it. Drop it. Whatever.

They don't care. Meanwhile, kids starving to death, courtesy of us and Israel.

Stepout, 3-2 Hamiti

Long challenge and they give Switzerland 2, 2-2

So you're saying we should convert folkstyle to be more like Greco so we can make the Greco team better? Interesting thought.

All of these have been on the Mat 2 feed I believe

Blaze wins 6-2 over Ukraine. Hamiti up now against Switzerland. Hamiti up 2-0 early

Vid of Hamas stealing UN aid. Overlaid with an article from the nyt saying no proof Hamas steals UN aid https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8kHfLJX/

I think Ryan Holmes said he was pretty set on going home to Chattanooga but someone reached out to him late and he wanted to at least check it out; no idea who that institution is though

Thanks - I think it actually works on both ends but we'll see what happens

Or…. We could prioritize the sport that is far more popular….. before we ruin the sport we have. It’s also hard to be more dominant than literal #1. Why can’t we just have both? also. GR is barely worth mentioning.

Brayton Lee wins 4-2 over guy from Ukraine. Where is he training? Singlet says Knights
