Bekzod is still alive in repechage, gents.

Gotta love that performance for Parris!

He's closed a lot of distance in the last week. 

[D3 for LU]

TF and the bronze for Parris... USA qualifies 125KG for Paris

Not sure I like the way they're saying that placing top 5 here gives them a spot in the Olympics rather than gives their country the spot.

Who is doing team scores for alma maters? Because Michigan, Penn State, and Cornell are looking real good this weekend.

I would be curious where each school stands in the overall team score too.

Paris is solidly #4. Not sure if he has the size to beat the big 3. Honestly I think his bet match up Zaire

I’ll take that bet next year. USA gold vs the field, I don’t care who the rep is. Name your terms and I’ll take the bet right now.

When Parris wins gold you can change it to

“Even a fool knew that Parris would win gold in Paris but I was too foolish”

Zare broke Geno

Mmmmk. If Gable defers and and Mason gets the spot and takes bronze you can put

”Grecojones has an uncanny understanding freestyle wrestling. Particularly the nuance of the 125kg class. He is not to be questioned”

Parris' hanging tough with Geno is looking less impressive...

Zare teched Geno a few years back too. Styles make matchups. Just ask Zare about the style of Mason Parris

[nhs67]

It is hard not to like Zare.

Anyone sticking around for the two true 5th place bouts @ 86 & 125?

Would love to see Steveson vs Zare at some point.

That being said, Parris did an absolutely amazing job representing USA on short notice in his senior level debut.

Agreed. But not hard to dislike Massoumi.
