Nice scramble by the Iranian... D3

Meanwhile... we have a gold medal match in play. James leading 4-0 at the break over the Iranian. D3

Great wrestling by Jayden he is incredible whizzer seat belt Ill keep saying it. Just like Pj.

I don’t pay attention to most of those things. But she is hot no? Megan Kelly is pretty hot too.

The 71KG bronze match on Mat C was won by the Armenian after a challenge... a frantic 5 secs later and the bronze in hand. The ABC Wide World of Sports sez it all... The THRILL of VICTORY,,, &... D3

So you didn’t know who Sydney Sweeney or Laura Loomer were before this week? Do you live under a rock?

this kids humongous

I mean good summary. I didn’t know who Sydney was before this but I know she’s smokin hot now.

Well, I can't resist. In 1956, I read the book "100 Greatest Sports Heroes" and the three bios that impacted me the most were Frank Gotch, King of Wrestlers; Bob Mathias, King of the Decathlon, and Johnny Weissmuller, The Human Fish. I have written books about Gotch and became friends with Mathias late in life...and corresponded a bit with Weissmuller, who after setting 67 swimming records became even more famous as Tarzan in 12 movies. BTW. Dan Gable was a standout swimmer as a youth until he channeled all his energies into antoher sport.

Man, 60KG was a completely lopsided bracket.

Megyn Kelly didn’t seem to like her a month ago. Now she does.

I am completely fine with losing to Iran, however if it was Russia I would be mildly upset.

D3

correct. NOT Correct. sorry. I forgot to add Bassett's points. We can still win, but we need wins at 71 and 92, AND for Iran to lose gold medal match. That's asking a lot. If Iran wins gold at 92, we lose 155 to 154

even if they get silver at 92 its 150-149 best case for USA right?

The difference is that Iran scoring w/ one more wrestler... they were shut out of one wt while USA had two wts that went zero point zilch . D3

If James wins at 71kg (which I expect him to) and Alizadeh wins at 92kg (which I expect him to), then Iran will win team title 155 to 149. Iran has effectively locked up the team title regardless of the remaining match outcomes. On a side note, I remember Iran folks giving us grief on these boards for winning 2024 U20 team title with only one gold medalist (Lilledahl), which Iran is now about to do here at cadets. Can't have it both ways!

Maybe cnn doesn’t like Sydney Sweeney? This is from May… or does cnn like edgy titles to grab views too Sydney Sweeney is selling soap infused with her ‘actual’ bathwater… and we feel dirty just typing this https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/29/entertainment/sydney-sweeney-soap-bathwater

CNN felt compelled to comment on it again https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/08/02/entertainment/sydney-sweeney-american-eagle-ad-dunkin-drama-cec

Whistles blowing can mean only one thing... some refs are retiring. D3

Watched Irans 60 kg guy in the semis as well as third place. Very good wrestler but absolutely zero mental fortitude. Could be very dangerous if he gets with a sports psychologist.

Meanwhile... Canada was winning 4-2 in the waning seconds until Azerbaijan got that 2 to take it via criteria. Damn... and the Azerbaijani was a tall skinny 60Kg as well! D3

I think iran has to just win 1 match

Alizadeh should get gold not sure if it comes down to 71 or if Iran wins regardless.

Georgian kid at 92 is terrible. USA will get bronze.
