Good Luck, USA...

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Adeline Gray with the folkstyle half nelson for the pin. She wrestles for Bronze now, right?

 

Kayla Miracle picks her opponent off the ground, holds her up, then walks her out of bounds for the tech. She had the strength to do that with about :10 left in the match.

I'll go with not a fluke.

Tazhudinov didn't overpower or overwork anyone. He did over-motion, over-reach and over-technique everyone. He was longer in dimension and fluid in motion. He did everything he could with those assets. 

His build is like David Taylor's but bigger: He can reach what he wants, and he does.

I also think his challenges are about to get steeper. Yeah, he just whooped the best in the World, the extent of which is the most remarkable part, but they're gonna start to study him now. It's not that the table will turn, it'll just square. 

What's most impressive to me is that he made it look easy. Apologies for this folk style tangent, but he reminds me of Ed Ruth. Low intensity on the surface - relaxed as if it doesn't really matter; Lanky but somehow slick - they all walked into his game. We've all wrestled with a neck injury at some point, but I think he can touch Sadulaev's ankles anytime he wants, and he can direct Snyder's tail over his shoulders more easily than anyone else in this world. 

Not a Fluke

The only thing I’ll counter is the idea that now Sadulaev will study him.  He grew up under Sadulaev. Sadulaev’s coach coaches him as well.

MFS was by far the most insane WC I’ve witnessed. I need some aspirin before Greco starts!  Along with the runs turned in by Miccic and T-dov, so much craziness went down that were not even talking about the guy who couldn’t qualify to challenge for the team spot at 86 so he bumped and won a world medal 14 pounds up.  Also noted ten Americans won medals with six in the finals and four gold. 
 

That RTC system is pumpin.

I completely agree it wasn't a fluke as well. I wonder how Sadulaev's coach plays into this - do you think he's going to help Sadulaev scheme against the youngin', or just let the guys figure it out on their own?

With Japan on her side, I don't think Miracle will wrestle for a medal/qualify the weight.

Page will sit out until the semi-finals at 62 KG, unless she decides going down behooves her better.

In current events: Bruntil is up 2-0 on her Russo opponent with 1M3S to go.

She wins and she will wrestle for a medal.

It is looking like she will have Mongolia in her semi-finals.

Miracle needs the Romanian to beat Norway then the winner of Japan/Brazile to be pulled back in to repechage.

Norway is up 6-0 on Romania with 2M15S to go in the first.

Not looking good.

FYI - Dom is still very much alive after dropping her first match.  The lady from India has rattled off impressive win after impressive win.

Japan with a tech as well.  She will have Norway next in the semi-finals.

Japan is just so good.

She's beat some good wrestlers. Bronze wont be easy. But DP did wrestle her the best
