Likewise, it is amusing to me when wrestling parents actually believe that their high school kids are SO good and SO intimidating that an actual current senior-level world champion and Olympic medalist (Gilman) was SO terrified that he "literally ran away" rather than face them, leading to him being "verbally assaulted" all practice by the kid for his cowardice, and then when he finally gathered the cajones to face the terrifying youth(s), was promptly "teched... in about 20 seconds". 1

One other note, he (Lopez) was that good. I don't know that anyone knows that he is that good anymore. Even Karelin fell. We need to get Gable to do both next year. Could Gable beat Schultz in GR? Could he be a medal winner in both FS and GR in the 2024 Olympics? Maybe that would be something worth looking into for him. It would be tough for sure as competitions are close together in time. But what a statement that would make. mspart Imagine if Rulon beat Karelin when he was going for his 4th and beat Lopez going for his 5th! I can’t see it happening but that would be crazy lol. I’m sure no one gave him a chance against Karelin, but I think his physical condition is a lot different now.

I have a buddy who was University National Champ in Greco in 95 I believe and Freestyle and Greco armed forces champ the following year. West Point grad and was a commander inthe US Navy stationed in Afganistan. Also, My neighbors kid was a Two-time All-American at the Fargo National Championships and UWW Cadet All-American as a sophomore … Was the Fargo Greco National runner up as a freshman. 1

But what a statement that would make. mspart The mythical Rulon makes a hypothetical appearance. Rulon already faced Lopez when he was in his was in shape, he went 0-3 against him. And that was a young Lopez who was still taking losses to the field. What did Rulon do that would make people think he could do this, at 50? He stalemated a severely diminished wrestler who had looked like a shadow of himself for the past two tournaments? So did two other people in those other tournaments. Can they win at 50 too? Rulon didn't score with a wrestling move against Karelin. The arcane grip rule gave him the win. You can also hear the commentator mentioning how all Rulon had to do was stall in that position and he would have been given a point anyway. Definitely a balanced rule, make one guy take all the risk while forcing him to adhere to thumb war concepts.
LJB Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 Yeah… just a 4X Olympic and world medalist… what did he ever do???

Riza is still the best person not named Lopez on paper. And the second best guy going by form is also Cuban, so Lopez wouldn't even need to face him. The only long shot of a new person is that there is some 20 year old Russian (realistically only country that could produce one now) prodigy that we don't know about. But I haven't seen anything indicating that. So it's the same people from Tokyo, and what looks like a declining Riza. Nothing interesting about the field. Which makes it on Lopez. I don't think any of them can score on him, other than a fluke push out or a terrible mistake. Can still Lopez still gut everyone? If he can, he should win comfortably. I think his biggest concern is an injury, even mid match. It could happen.
