With his shoulder I’m happier seeing him wrestling Tazhudinov than Sadulaev till he has settled as I think it will be more technical and less physical with Tazhudinov. I’m also ok with him starting at the shallow rather than the deep end. Some ranking events etc will be good preparation.

This is MAGA country!

Some ball are held for charity and some for fancy dress, but when they're held for pleasure they're the balls that I like best.

Its interesting that apart from the one off matches against Snyder and Tazhudinov, the only other guys who have been able to nearly beat him have been our own (Goleij and Ghasempour). With all due respect to both guys Yazdani is a class above them both so you would expect Yazdani being capable to beat Sadulaev. From now on his team should be analysing and developing game plans on how to beat the top guys at 97kg and preparing him for when he steps back onto the mat. I know that Mohammadian is now a coach so maybe him and Reza Yazdani can work alongside him to prep for the transition to 97kg. The only thing that matters to Iranians is world and olympic medals and Asia is pretty shallow at the heavier weight classes even if you are Russian transfers. But its possible the first Yazdani vs Tazhudinov match up will happen at Asians in 2026/2027.

This is really strange tbh. However it sort of tracks with what they've been doing in recent years. It seems that they are trying to establish soft power within the wrestling world by inviting other countries' wrestling teams to Iran and sending their own guys there as well. From memory Tajikistan, Hungary and Armenia have brought their wrestling teams to train in Iran with our senior guys. I reckon they must have received some sort of benefits to send these guys there either financially or politically. Dabir was talking about making the wrestling federation self funded and developing revenue streams so I imagine this might be a part of that either directly or indirectly.

Yeah I think the US guys' biggest problem is translating their style to international wrestling initially but I think that's largely being overcome with FS being more integrated into US wrestling from an earlier age. Also the new gen of coaches like J'den Cox are going to be passing on their knowledge as well so I don't think its going to be a major problem by the 2028 olympics as you said but I think you guys will still be a force this year too. When it comes to Iran light weights they are incredibly inconsistent one tournament they look unbeatable and another one they look like its their first time wrestling on the mat. Ahmad Javan is quite young and I think he has potential to be a medal threat at 61kg but that largely hinges upon him not being leg laced back to Iran every time he gets taken down. Considering he isn't Mazani as well I'm curious to see his performance. His province Khorasan Razavi has been doing quite well in the lighter weight classes at junior levels domestically so it would be nice to see their hard work bring home a world medal.

Yes I agree - it’s going to be difficult to get a world medal for him but I guess he is going to give it his best shot and there may be surprises if he does manage to reinvent himself and adapt his style. I worry about him wrestling Sadulaev as our wrestlers have had injuries after wrestling him( I think Goliej knee got hurt badly? and it was rough for Ghassempour too I think). I see him winning ranking events and medal at Asian championship though relatively readily so he has things that he may reasonably be expected to achieve.

the stretch from Richmond to Philly is pretty much a haze of traffic anxiety. IDK why and it seems silly but i normally feel home free once i get to jersey. As far as 18 wheelers go, I was on i81 a lot and holy hell it feels like its exclusively 18 wheelers blocking traffic. Made me realize the worst road is a 4 lane road. i95 is generally wider so you can get around idiots, there are only so many mistakes someone can make on a 2 lane road, but 4 lane roads always have some.....tard going 40 in left lane while you get killed killed by a tard on meth doing 200 in the right lane.

So, where is the tournament held for the next five years after penn state in 2026. Someone told me state college again 2027 then Iowa? Nebraska

Used to drive up 95 to NJ from Virginia /NC pretty often and the long stretch in Delaware and NJ turnpike from the start of the turnpike to the Newark airport area dragged every time , you have like 20 miles in between exits when you first get on , you reach NJ and think it’s almost over but no 2 more hrs on the turnpike with State troopers and 18 wheelers everywhere

CT highways are constantly under construction during the prime times when people would like to drive through

not my experience, i don't know if its the gotham city scenery, or the fact that i like going to NYC but it never drags. CT and MD always seem to drag.

http://iawf.ir/?th=contentdetail&PageCode=81751 Look at these two pics - in both of them, first and second/third place are Iranians, and the other spot is a guy from either Romania (the host country) or somewhere else, I’m not sure Now, if I were the head of Iran’s wrestling federation, the only way I’d send my wrestlers to a tournament like this is if Romania was paying me a fat stack of cash… or if the wrestling trip was just a cover for sending over something else. I’m not trying to sound like some conspiracy nut, but seriously - how else are you supposed to look at this? And Romania’s already kinda known as the Islamic Republic’s backyard. Remember that judge they dragged over from France to Romania, and then he just “fell” out of his hotel window? And I have no idea how the federation had the guts to post the following picture. This is straight-up a meme. I'm guessing that’s Abolfazl Mohmadi, right? The federation’s own post says he got silver - and yeah, you can see the silver medal on him - so why the heck is he standing on the gold podium? Where’s the guy who actually won? This picture is a meme all by itself.

I never realized just how small NJ was until I moved away, but if you drive the nj turnpike top to bottom it seems like it takes 5 hours

i thought of new jersey as bigger for some odd reason, maybe cause MD is shaped like it was jerrymandered. Once I thought of driving through the states i realized MD seems endless and NJ is sort of a breeze, unless you get stuck in traffic....not impossible.

Is this real. Feels wrong weird. I mean they need $$$ if they want to be paid. Is that crowd statistically the crowd that funds the d1ldo market more than any other crowd. So much weird here

Enjoy lefty

Speaking of that, I better attend to something...

I’m sure she wishes she still could

Did you think it was more the 2500 miles?

That's OK. I hope she enjoyed herself.

She still took it hard.

Grndat is ok with remarrying and even fornication, as long as u dont cheat (in secret). Like i had never been with anybody else when I married her? I'm not about double standards like the wingers.

Wyatt can compete with any of the top guys barring maybe Zare but his style lends him to giving up points and if he finds himself in a hole against a stingy european I think that could be trouble. I think USA is in an incredible spot for 2027/2028 maybe even 2026 but I believe we have 7 guys who have not competed at senior worlds and its just hard to have crazy expectations for them because for the most part we do not do a good job at competing often overseas. edit: I am largely basing how I feel about Javan on his match against Suda which I honestly think he should have won and I think Suda is the on paper #2 going into worlds.

Btw your sugar momma that loves you so much took it hard from someone else before marrying you. So not a ***I have a limited vocabulary*** like you’re waiting for. Now that’s eternal thoughts for your small mind. Dont worry though Jesus loves her too
