Other than the USA, Iran, Japan, and Russia—nations that continue to develop and showcase their own top wrestlers—many other so-called “powerhouse” countries lean heavily on imported talent. A big share of these recruits come from Russia itself, with places like Bahrain fielding Russian wrestlers under their flag. This trend not only props up the results of those countries but also dilutes Russia’s own strength on the international stage. On top of that, the absence of Abdulrashid Sadulaev, one of Russia’s biggest stars, further hurt their chances of placing higher in the overall team rankings. Taken together, Russia’s performance looked subpar compared to its potential, largely because so many of its athletes were wearing different colors. Do you agree? -

It's easy to have fun when you have the #1 recruit at every weight. How would he do at Clarion roster with the fun?

This punk deserves everything he gets.

Everybody attention will focus on today's semis action (can you say "repechage?" I bet you can.)

Summary of the morning: Kilty & Welker win their way back into bronze matches later today, joining Maroulis, who wrestles for gold. Taylor eliminated Nwachukwu, Glaude, Blades all fall in the quarters and hope for the best in the semis from the girls that beat them.

Nwach lost 5-2.

To be clear, I’m not a Penn State fan. I believe Cael is a win at all costs guy just as much as Brands, Taylor, and just about every D1 coach. I don’t think Cael is on some moral high ground that he won’t do what it takes to win. But I think you have to respect that he’s not promoting that with his athletes. They are already ultra competitive. He’s getting them to buy into down playing the importance of winning to help them relax, perform better, and in turn, the winning comes.

Hoagie!

Please elaborate

Margin of error at that level is razor thin, and simply a notch or two down in the mental part of the game can be the difference in a silver medal at the olympics and what we saw earlier this week. At the beginning of the match I was already feeling like something was off with him, from a 'zoned in' standpoint. Then there was one moment....if you go back and watch, Harutynuuan had just went up 2-1 and Lee kind of back out of bounds grounded. On the way back to center the ref talked to Lee about it.....Lee was looking the ref dead in the eye like a kid being talked to by his father and nodded in acknowledgement. May seem like a nothing burger, but it really stood out to me, you don't see that at this level. These guys are laser focused and aren't typically paying much attention to what the ref is telling them, they are focused on the match and looking to gain whatever edge they can. I literally said at the moment "oh he's in trouble, he's not all there". I honestly believe that with that score and exchange with the ref, and already not 100% in it (mentally) Lee completely lost it. And the rest of the match went the way it did......

12-1 tech. Crazy to see her beat like that
-
Blades is getting destroyed 10-1 by Ishii of Japan (2024 world champ) at the half

Zahid clearly gets the best US wrestler award, but HIdlay wins the award for the most entertaining match. Even when he was down, you could see he was still in it. This should be a match played over and over for young wrestlers. His motor never changed through six minutes and you watched his opponent lose a little strength with each chest wrap. It was quite a display of under and over achievement by the team, but overall a real testament to a strong squad.

lol.....do you really believe that nonsense propaganda?

couldn't agree more

So narcotics are cool, running your mouth is bad. Gotcha. -
That’s my take as well. You see Penn State and many other programs adopting the mindset of just “having fun and scoring points”. Iowa is still stuck on winning is everything. Even though PSU is super competitive and wants to win as bad as Iowa, the mindset they promote is much more freeing. It allows their guys to wrestle without all the pressure

Commute time... anybody game to keep this ball rolling is welcome to it. Arriva turkey to you all D3

He could have at least said “Stupid Muslim extremists” or something so as to not include all Muslims in his statement.

Nawchuckwu comes from behind to win 7-3 and advances. D3
