nhs67 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 When she is on I love watching her go. Outclassed her and coasted the last minute or so. 10-6 win with four coming late for her Cuban opponent. 1 "I know actually nothing.

CA_Wrestler Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 After Kagami won, almost all of their Olympic team is complete. Japan's rule is that if you medal at this World Championships at an Olympic weight, the Olympic spot is yours. So: 50kg- Susaki(2023 World Champion) 53kg- Fujinami(In the finals tomorrow night) 57kg- Sakurai(2023 World Champion) 62kg- Motoki(In the finals tomorrow night) 68kg-Ishii if she wins bronze tomorrow night 76kg- Kagami(2023 World Champion) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spladle08 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Just saw the Greco draws. USA got hosed. We didn't draw an opponent from Mexico at any weight. I don't see how they expect us to build confidence without winning matches. Rigged 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neutral Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Any legitimate medal threats in Greco. I have been out of the loop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all get winnable matches in the first round. Then, for Kamal Bey, his toughest opponent before the semifinals is a guy he doubled up at the last ranking series tournament. That fellow is the #1 seed, but Bey has shown he can beat him. Joe Rau has a guy in the first round that he pinned two years ago, and Zac Braunagel gets a young fellow who is 1-4 in age-group Asian Championships. But the best part of their draws is their second round matches. They both get Greco legends. So, they either shock the world or have a nice chance for repechage. Remember, though, they don't call me Homelander for nothing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Cohlton Schultz on Mat D. He looks bigger than ever, even bigger than Micic if you can believe that. He got the first passivity point but couldn't turn his Czech opponent. Not a good sign, that. Then, he got a pushout. That's a good sign! 2-0 Schultz at the break.

ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Colton Schultz with the pin! To the poster above who asked about medal threats from the USA, well, in my non-expert opinion, it is the two winners on the day so far: Bey and Schultz. They call it a tech fall 9-1 and not a pin. Schultz was stronger and had a better gas tank than his opponent. One thing I really dislike about Greco is that they will put both men down in the match, even in cases like this when Schultz so obviously dominated the action.

ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Brady Koontz up 7-0 at the break. He's comically taller than his Korean foe. Koontz called for passivity when he was anything but. That's my hang-up again with Greco. The Korean gets that point and a gut. Brady almost pins the over-eager tiny man. 7-3 win for Koontz! Really, really nice day so far for the beacon of Democracy in the World! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
