2023 World Wrestling tournament...

[oldschool]

We'll have 2 head-to-head finals vs Iran tomorrow (both Yazdanis at 70kg and 86kg).

Lame.

Parris pretty much has to medal for us to win the team race correct?

Not necessarily. If Lee or Richards or Marsteller outperform, and shit aligns, we could still win.

Feel free to make a copy of this google sheet and play around with the "Prediction" columns. They auto-update the points and totals, so you can game out different scenarios.

Lee has a good draw and if he miraculously performs I a bronze could materialize, but probably not . 
Richards, I hate to say 0, but has a 0% chance at a medal. 
Marstellar could concievably make  the finals but more than likely gets 5th 
Snyder likely Bronze, could win it all or DNP that won't be an easy bronze match. 
Dake could explode or just lose anywhere along that death path. 
Who else is there? guess thats it

Lol Lee has a miserable draw. He is on this tournament’s semi group of death. Multiple world medalists are going home without a repechage match from that side.

Lee will lose to the favorite in the weight, then have a horrible Bronze match. 
But of the quarters he could have ended up in.... where else would you want him?

Yeah but hopefully the winner of that is a finalist 

[Plasmodium]

What place is an Olympic qualification?

[Spladle08]

Lee got a clear shot to Amouzad. 
better than having to wrestle Muz early and then watch him have to get my Amouzad and Otoguro. 

Damnit I mis-spoke, I just saw that bottom quarter

[Spladle08]

Not a great draw. Seabass gets that. 
but not the worst

True 5th

Losers of Bronze matches will wrestle for qualification

[WildTurk]

Maybe the guys that have to wrestle Lee got the bad draw.. Don't sleep on him yet

I’m a huge Nick Lee fan but his wrestling IQ isn’t there yet.

He did everything possible to lose to Musukaev in their match when other Americans have shown a very clear blueprint for beating him. He threw that match away. I’d love to be proven wrong, of course.

That loss to Ochir last month, or whenever that was. Is how I feel a lot of his matches will go against the top guys at the weight . Obviously it'd be nice if he was in Rivera's spot, but still he should get a couple cracks at a medal, he just needs to surprise one or 2 guys and BOOM!

Maybe his wrestling IQ grew since you last watched him wrestle?  Zain just made the World Finals. Did you watch Lee and Zain wrestle each other?  If you are basing things on past results that it is..

Swap him with Rivera and he makes the finals.
