nhs67 Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Is registration done? Nobody else can register? "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
mspart Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 I am giving here my intent to crash the party and enter the WTTs as a competitor. After WTTs I might have 1 or 2 arms less than I have now, but it will be worth it. They will let me in right? mspart
LJB Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Would be interested to hear the reasoning for some of the Greco seeds… I have a theory but whatever… no real difference between 2 and 3…

Mike Parrish Posted May 15, 2023 Author Posted May 15, 2023 At least they're holding the women's trials in a high end facility... Quote The Senior women’s freestyle tournament will take place Sunday, May 21, at Discovery Canyon High School. Action will begin at 10 a.m. (MT) with finals scheduled for 4:30 p.m. (MT). 1

flyingcement Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 As a kid, how cool would it be if World Team Trials were held at your high school?

Jason Bryant Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 That school, at least the last time I was in the gym, is super nice. It’s not a bandbox. 1 Insert catchy tagline here.

Not all high school facilities are the same. There is a local high school with an indoor 50 meter pool and indoor tennis courts. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

You’re looking at this all wrong and need to approach with an IDEA mindset I (inclusive) because it welcomes all ages since it’s a high school gym D (diversity) because underrepresented wrestling groups are participating e.g. greco-roman to grow participation among high school attendees E (equity) because everyone is stuck competing in the same high school gym A (accessibility) because it’s a high school gym and therefore meets ADA requirements which is better than some world seniors events can say… i am an idiot on the internet

Well it was in some of Indiana High Schools the crowd would be lucky to fill 1/4 of it, especially with this years lack of all weight classes.

bnwtwg Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Illinois just put another competitor into Final X. Great showing from Zac Braunagel at 87 greco! 2 i am an idiot on the internet
LJB Posted May 21, 2023 Posted May 21, 2023 Tough day at the office… while up 4-0 early in his first Mach, the boy is defending a front headlock and pops something in his hamstring on his post leg and gets teched… Had to be carried off the mat… 2 weeks before U20 trials and no clue if he will have any chance to take the mat… Two weeks ago while wrestling Corey Land in the finals of U20, he is taking Land feet to back for the tech and Land’s foot gets stuck in the mat and totally destroys his knee… This sport can be brutal at times… 1
LJB Posted May 21, 2023 Posted May 21, 2023 Side note… spent the day watching with a 6X Estonian National champ and Euro silver medalist… he was absolutely horrified at the quality of reffing… it’s embarrassing our athletes are continually let down by an organization that treats the most populate style worldwide as an afterthought… 1

Yeah… there isn’t one athlete that hasn’t had to deal with this type of thing, but, it was tough watching him break down knowing how well he has been wrestling… he was very confident going into today and was looking good first minute and a half… seeing our PT guy tomorrow for a first real assessment past the trainer at the event…
