Vito 65. Zain 74. Dake 84. Taylor 97. Snyder 125. Gable Can Vito and Zain make the weight? Does Gable finally realize that WWE is about Logan Paul and Pat Mcafee while he's an afterthought there-while also being one of the most dominant freestyle wrestlers alive?

lu_alum Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Great tourney for Vito and Zain. Now they can start the process of reducing the size of their bodies. Zain looks like he’s gonna have to take off a lot of muscle. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHROMEBIRD Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Vito has been showing us his best wrestling and I would love to see him ride that wave at 57kg next year. If not, I feel like Gilman still has another good cycle in him and will make a solid run at trials. Richards has been getting some good experience internationally and of course Spencer Lee would be a threat if he's healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribers Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Vito can do it. A bit less muscle and more time to recover after weighins. We have an obvious gap at 57 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 OP's lineup would be a murderer's row and looks like our best chances right now. But something crazy always happens at OTT, so it'll be interesting to see where things shake out differently. Quote 57. Vito 65. Zain 74. Dake 84. Taylor 97. Snyder 125.

We have an obvious gap at 57 now I'm pretty sure the #1 reason for Vito's "miraculous" improvement this year was him cutting way less weight. Pretty sure Rob Koll would agree with me. I'm also guessing that a entire year in which his body has likely grown a bit isn't going to make the cut to 57 kg any easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best guys for 57 always wrestle 133 in folk. You ain’t getting big enough if 125 with 1 hr weighins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Whoever comes out at 57kg for the US should have a great chance to medal next year. We should see Zane, Vito, Gilman, Fix, Spencer and Suriano all battle it out for that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spladle08 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 The following would be the greatest U.S. freestyle olympic team of all time (on paper going into the Olympics) if it were to happen next year. 57. Vito 65. Zain 74. Dake 84. Taylor 97. Snyder 125. Gable Can Vito and Zain make the weight? Does Gable finally realize that WWE is about Logan Paul and Pat Mcafee while he's an afterthought there-while also being one of the most dominant freestyle wrestlers alive?

CHROMEBIRD Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Lots of good eatin in Paris. We might see Vito and RBY go to France at 57kg and return home as 86ers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Who do you think are legit threats to make the team next year at each weight class? 57kg and 65kg probably go the deepest 57: Vito, Zane, Gilman, Fix, Spencer, Suriano 65: Zain, Nick Lee, Yianni, James Green, McKenna, Alirez, Shapiro? 74: Dake, JB, Nolf, Starocci, Mesenbrink? 86: DT, Brooks, Zahid 97: Snyder, Cox 125: Gable, Parris Edited September 18, 2023 by Gus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
