2023 World Wrestling tournament...

[RJW]

Dake's challenge at the end of match should have been the whole sequence starting @18 seconds left. 

@16.5 seconds Sidakov's knees are down and feet out of bounds.

@16 seconds he pushes into Dake, knees are off mat and feet are still out of bounds.

Should have been 1 for Dake (red step out), and a restart in center of mat?

Taylor has always been someone who pours it on dating back to college. Dake always won closer matches. This isn't a new development. Internationally, Dake can overpower guys with underhooks and chest wraps, but isn't as dynamic offensively as Taylor. 

Except when they wrestle each other of course

If his knees are down he's considered to be grounded and no step outs called.

He doesn’t push into him he darts back in for a low shot. I think you may be on to something.

But he comes off his knees and attacks with his feet still out.

You can say this and believe it … even though it isn’t true. Go for it.

Too bad it’s objectively true.

Everything in this match was in Dake’s favour, the stars aligned, and still he lost. Not sure he would have made the finals through Sidakov’s side.

Kilty with the quick tech.

Snyder up in about 5.

Seems like a lot of wrestlers have made unnecessary adjustments during the tournament. Out of greed or fear, they give up a good position for a worse one. This happens most often with the chest wraps (e.g. Mason defending, Dake on offense). But also with ties. I liken it to Sumo, when a wrestler breaks his grip and attempts to gain another, his foe takes that opportunity to go for the kill.

Another thought: I remember a couple years ago Iran sent a female team to the Grappling World Championships. That was the first ever, and it hasn't happened since. This was in 2015, and they won some medals. They have won a world belt championship--but I don't even know what that is. 

Long story short, why aren't they here? 

Azerbaijan is 97% Muslim by population, Kazakhstan is 72%, Kyrgyzstan is 83%, Turkey is 98% Muslim, followed by Uzbekistan with 88%. They've sent representatives. So, what's the deal? 

The three loudest cheering sections at wrestling events are Iranians, the women at junior duals and drunk Hawkeye fans. This would be a way to combine two of those groups to make an invincible group of superfans.

Hate to say this, but I hope this match ends soon... I gotta leave for work!

The Uzebek looks like he's over 40!

The Uzbeki tried two switches to evade the takedown. Those are our folkstyle moves! Snyder 2-0 at break. 

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

6-2 now, and Snyder was lucky that chest wrap of the Uzbeki's counted for 2 and not 4, otherwise it'd be 4-4. 

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

Oops, jinxed it. Uzbekistan is challenging the call.

Challenge won. I did jinx it. Scores now 4-4 with the Uzbeki having criteria. 

[D3 for LU]

BUT not for long... 8-4!

D3

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

Takedown and cradle. Captain America back up 8-4! 

[D3 for LU]

NOW 10-4...

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

10-6 AMERICA!

Snyder and the Uzbeki both added takedowns. 

Man that dude is a damn cartoon villain, what I call an "Alley Runner." You see him in an alley, you run. 

[D3 for LU]

Phew... 10-6 for Kyle... now , he'll have to deal w/ the Tank for the bronze.

(Does Sudalaev show up for that match after yesterdays def. in the semis?)

Snyder seemed a little conservative today.
