[Perry]

Congrats to Rutherford! 

[Grecojones]

Can we go 3/3???!!!!??

[oldschool]

2 first-time champs for the US so far in Vito and Zain  Great to see these guys break through at the next level, especially considering this WC is fully loaded

Kind of reminds me of Rudy Giuliani!

The sequential matches for the finals make it take so much longer. Really wishing they at least wrestled the bronze matches side-by-side

[WildTurk]

That's a huge win for Zain!  Love it. Iran has to be in shock right now

Shouldn't Vito consider taking an olympic red shirt?

I thought I saw on twitter that Vito was taking an oly redshirt?   Did I imagine this in my head ?

I know JB's gotta be feeling pretty sore about missing out on this year's worlds, but I really hope he ends up commentating for the US quite a bit in the future.

He is here.

Oh, That JB.

He has said many, many times that he believes he has been in college for far too long and will not be taking one.

[Grecojones]

I don’t want to get too excited yet. Let’s let our Olympic weight results begin to file in before we lose our minds… that said we are looking damn good!!

[D3 for LU]

Medal ceremony @ 61Kg... they didn't hook up Vito's WC belt tight enough, it's sliding down his hips!

(He's holding it up!!!)

Ok.  I do see on Wikipedia he took one in 19-'20

Any chance Zain goes 74 rather than 65? I think it’s unlikely, but he’s been at 70 for what, two+ years now? 11 lbs will be a pretty hard cut. His frame just seems small for 74.

Doesn't matter.  He could take another one if he so chose to.

Micic did it 2016 and 2020.

Have we been spoiled? These Finals have been high-scoring fire and war. Congratulations to Zain and Vito! They warred.

Would be really interesting to see him vs Nolf after so many years being in the same room together

All I want is everything, and I don't think it is asking too much.

[Grecojones]

It still blows my mind that Amine is an Olympic bronze medalist. Crazy.

I mean he took Olympic bronze in 2020. Then in 2021 he took 3rd in NCAA and 2nd in 2022. Aaron brooks is like #3 or 4 on the US ladder. To me that’s kinda crazy 

[Spladle08]

Any predictions on Magic Man vs Full Sized Yaz? 
I'll go 7-4 somebody but WarTaylor
