LJB Posted Monday at 11:52 AM Posted Monday at 11:52 AM totally forgot Emelin does in fact have a world championship from the 2010s...
LJB Posted Monday at 11:58 AM Posted Monday at 11:58 AM aslanyan and nasaryan in a wild match that was super competitive until aslanyan takes the 6-4 lead to a 12-4 tech in a cocaine heartbeat late... mammadli gets the 3rd par terre opportunity late and gets his gut to make the finals with a 2-2 win...
LJB Posted Monday at 12:10 PM Posted Monday at 12:10 PM Mohmadipiani drops ARM... so, the end result is the gold and bronze medalist from last year both go one and done today at 87kg... and the 2024 Olympic final will be rematched for gold tomorrow... greco is bananas...
LJB Posted Monday at 12:22 PM Posted Monday at 12:22 PM Esmaeili and Jafarov yet another ridiculously close tough match, but, Esmaeili proves he is still the best wrestler on this planet, period... wow... both soooo good...
LJB Posted Monday at 12:34 PM Posted Monday at 12:34 PM Khalmakonov gets his money back on Galstyan and drops him with his relentless pace on the feet... gets him put down first and then lifts for a throw OOBs for 1 then gets an early step out lost challenge to avoid having to go under the crazy length and ridiculous cuban gut of the armenian... 4-0 him and esamaili will be fun for gold... that result brings otto back in to repechage for tomrrow... we texted a little earlier and he confirmed he was puking into his mouth all second period and then unloaded everything in his stomach when he got to the back... says he feels just fine now and is in good spirits...
romeo07 Posted Monday at 12:50 PM Posted Monday at 12:50 PM I don't know a lot about greco, so can someone please explain to me why this guy was allowed to work 30 seconds from par terre before getting his turns? I thought it was supposed to only be like 12 seconds. https://www.flowrestling.org/video/16283515-60-kg-18-final-razvan-arnaut-romania-vs-dalton-james-roberts-united-states

mattramosjr Posted Monday at 01:43 PM Posted Monday at 01:43 PM What are the chances USA wins a freestyle team title? It seems very low this year, and is concerning for our future.

jdw21 Posted Monday at 02:30 PM Posted Monday at 02:30 PM (edited) Thanks so much for the Greco updates! Much appreciated! I hope the updates continue for women’s and men’s freestyle (from somebody…not necessarily you). Updates from anybody are appreciated! Edited Monday at 02:31 PM by jdw21

What is crazy is that since the 2007 title, our highest place has been tenth. We tend to be around 20th now. In the years from 2000-2006 we were 3rd three times (including unofficial 2000 Olympics score).

LJB Posted Monday at 02:52 PM Posted Monday at 02:52 PM there is literally nobody involved with the actual wrestling that does not all agree that worlds is tougher than the olympics... "fans" continue to be adorable...

Which do you actually have to qualify for? You know the answers to all of these, and it isn't "Worlds." 1
