The Pan Am Games

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

The brackets at UWW are just a masterpiece of errors. They don't match with the results page, and it is blowing my mind. If you go by the results page, Bey just beat the Cubano and is into the semifinals.

By the way, I think that eSports should have been held at 2:00 am, with a 6-pack Mountain Dew minimum, then continuing all night until a champion was crowned. 

And the Pan Am Games bowling competition should've been once a week for 3 months with the 9th being the beer frame.

It's wrong.

No, it is just you that is not allowed. Because of your white privilege

A real test of endurance.

UWW isn’t running it, so they’re reliant on the hosts actually running this thing. My buddy is on the PA down there and the reports I’m getting … are … interesting to say the least.

I have so much white privilege, even though I am black, that I have trancended races and have white privilege.

Two guys that I have worked with both went 0-1.  That is a lot of travel and fundraising to only have one match.  Does anyone know if they are going to give the 0-1 guys exhibition matches to gain experience and if UWW will broadcast these exhibitions?

Kamal Bey is in the finals later this afternoon.

I didn't realize this until a few minutes ago, Gold medalists earn 8,000 UWW points.

They broadcasted a couple of hours of medal ceremonies for "Sprint Canoe" while wrestling was ongoing.

I had typed "Speed Canoeing" but the official name of the sport is Sprint Canoe.

Correct!  That is an insult.  The word you are looking for is 'Pole' or perhaps 'Polish'.

Eh... stfu.  I know many Polish people who refer to themselves as Polak.

BigTenFanboy to show up soon in this thread...

I haven't been able to watch today.

Did Kyle Welker fail to medal at Pan-Ams?

Wasn't it like six months ago Flo was clamoring that it didn't matter who of our top five-ish ladies won 76 KG trials, they would be the favorite to win Gold at Worlds?

Our 76 KG class has looked quite mortal.

[nhs67]

Not trying to get anyone riled up here... ... but...

In WFS we got a Gold and a Bronze yesterday.  We might get two Bronze medals today.

We have two gents going for Gold today in Men's GR.  2 for 2 on medals.  Our MGR are on pace to outperform our Women's at the Pan-Am GAMES (these are supposed to be every four years and more prestigious).

Very nice!  Brought home Gold at 60 KG (Hafizov) and 77 KG (Bey)!

Where the hell can I find replays of this? I don’t have All day to watch and wait for Americans to come up

They have replays of the 2019 Pan Am Games. I have seen nothing for 2023. 

Fivepointmove.com and FloWrestling have been on Twitter complaining about how Greco and Women's got screwed by Break Dancing and other "sports." I got to see ZERO of Kamal Bey's matches, and that pisses me off. I go to the results page, and their notations show that he's scoring 4 after 4 after 4 all day long. Didn't see any of them. He came from behind to beat the Cubano in the semis. Missed that. Then, Kamal fell behind 0-5 in the finals only to pitch a shut out and eventually pin his veteran opponent. That happened but not on any stream. 

Themat.com aka USA Wrestling took down the article (bad 502 Gateway) from October in which it was implicitly promised that all wrestling matches would be streamed.

On the Women's side, Chavez is in the quarters against a Cubano

 

Her opponent is CUBANA.  We ain't gonna put up with no misgenderin' nobody here!  And it is wrong to state a nationality anyway, as NHS has learned the hard way.   No nationalities.  It is some sort of ist or phobe to do so.  Unless your DNA is properly checked ahead of time for clearance to say Polak.

That was an oops.  I am sorry for that one.

Zac Braunagel tech falled his first opponent, then fell in the quarters. Joe Rau got a bye, then teched his quarterfinals foe. He lost to the Cubano in the semis. They both won team points that go to the Pan Am Games team race, and more importantly, UWW ranking points. GO USA!
