WrestlingRasta Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 He has a year and a half to work with Bormet, Bela, and KJ......and an easy road to the Olympics. Loooooook out...
BobDole Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 There is no easy road to the Olympics. He will need to qualify the weight class which will take a top 5(gold, silver, both bronze, and winner of the 5th placers) performance at Worlds, make the finals at the Pan Ams, or top 3 at the last chance. With possibly the USA, Puerto Rico(Sebatian Rivera), and a Cuban the Pan Ams will not be as easy as it usually is. Gomez's high flying style will make for fun freestyle matches. 3

WrestlingRasta Posted June 28, 2023 Author Posted June 28, 2023 Okay okay let me clarify for all the nitpickers…… He has a year and a half with one of the best staffs in the world and doesn’t have to go through an absolute gauntlet to make the national team. Look out! 1

Going through the Americas, you just pretty much have to not pin yourself with your own leg lace. Going through Europe/Asia on the other hand.. 1
peanut Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Is there anything stopping our guys from training with the Cubans? Jaime Espinal of Puerto Rico was a cheerleader in college, and a breakdancer after college. Then he trained with the Cubans, and started winning medals, including an Olympic silver.
WrestlingRasta Posted June 29, 2023 Author Posted June 29, 2023 He also began wrestling at 8 or 9 with Franklin Gomez.

de4856 Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Gomez should be a great addition to 65, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Theo Brixton Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 What I gathered from this thread is that @WrestlingRasta probably wants to bang Japanese hookers. And if Hunter's text messages are any indication, Rasta can take solace in the fact that he and the world-renowned monger won't be competing for the same talent... But back to the (supposed) point of the thread--I like Gomez's FS prospects. He always seemed better suited to MFS over folkstyle and 65 kg fits his body. But he will need to have a real good day at PanAms to qualify the weight. Let's face it, while Yianni caught lightning in a bottle last year, the odds do not favor the US or anyone else in the PanAm qualifier to place top 5 in Belgrade. And like Bob says, there will be a number of countries with wrestlers the caliber of Gomez in the qualifier: US, Cuba, Canada (ascending McNeil), PR (Rivera) and Destribats (LOL). I think a healthy Gomez can make some noise and qualify but it's far from a forgone conclusion.
