nhs67 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Zapf is also going for Bronze at 70 KG later today. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
nhs67 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 As is Joey Silva at 61 KG. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
nhs67 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 McKenna up 3-3 on criteria now. 1M10S to go. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
nhs67 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 50S to go, McKenna gets warned for something. Not sure what? 40S to go and McKenna in deep on a single. Switches off to a double to come out the back... doesn't get it... ref lets the time go out... both wrestlers were trying to get in to better position the whole time... not sure about not calling it up sooner. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
nhs67 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 McKenna in to the Bronze match against Rivera. 1 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
nhs67 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Could Deepak Punia make 74 KG? I feel like he could. In any case, I am off gents. See ya'll in about five and a half hours. 1 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
Wrestleknownothing Posted January 10 Posted January 10 5 minutes ago, nhs67 said: Dean is so gassed right here... what the hell was that. He tried to do a weak chest wrap and pulled him on to him for four points... now down 8-3. The Azerbaijan guy hasn't tried to wrestle in five minutes of match time and he gave him the match there. Dean definitely got outsmarted in this match. The Azerbaijan wrestled like a veteran, Dean wrestled like a rookie. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge
nhs67 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Real quick recap: 57 KG Cruz loses in first round of Repechage to Bulgaria via 4-2 Decision. Richards loses to Turkey in first round or Repechage via 17-8 Decision (match of the day...?) 61 KG Joey Silva in the Bronze match. 65 KG McKenna VS Rivera for Bronze. 70 KG Zapf VS Switzerland for Bronze. 74 KG Nolf VS Abouzaripash for Gold - Nolf hasn't faced this Iranian yet... I believe this guy was 4th on their ladder last year, but he beat Emami 10-3, so... 86 KG Marsteller VS Azerbaijan for Bronze 1 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted January 10 Author Posted January 10 Don't forget Bekhbayar Erdenebat of IRTC/Mongolia wrestling for the Championship at 61 kg, and also every person from a Stan with zany facial hair. 1
ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted January 10 Author Posted January 10 1 hour ago, ILLINIWrestlingBlog said: Doug Zapf is the most American-looking person in the world. He's Tom Cruise without the crazy eyes.
KingOtoguro Posted January 10 Posted January 10 I wonder how Nolf-Sidakov would go. I wouldn't give Nolf much of a chance, but it could be an interesting match. 2
ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted January 10 Author Posted January 10 Aman Aman with a first period tech in the Finals. Zane made it to the second period, so there. Seriously, the world is going to have to scout his step over from the seatbelt position. You're not supposed to do that! But he scored with it all tournament. Also, his forward pressure. Might have to time that.
ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted January 10 Author Posted January 10 Bekhbayar Erdenebat, there on behalf of the ILLINOIS Regional Training Center and Mongolia, wins the Gold handily. Hopefully, he and Zane can continue training together.
Wrestleknownothing Posted January 10 Posted January 10 missed McKenna v Rivera. Anyone see it? 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge
Dark Energy Posted January 10 Posted January 10 From usawrestling twitter McKenna gets it done, 10-0! He scored quickly with a single leg finish going out-of-bounds. Followed right up with a double leg transition to leg lace (x3) to end it. 2
ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted January 10 Author Posted January 10 Here's how we get back at the Pan Am Games for giving us an Australian wrestling commentator and the UWW for providing an Englishman: We send over somebody from Tennessee to announce the 2024 Cricket World Cup. Another thing, how do Penn State fans feel about Jason Nolf (not my favorite wrestler) being number two in the United States at 74 kg behind Kyle Dake, who also wrestles for the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club, but never wrestled for PSU?
Wrestleknownothing Posted January 10 Posted January 10 (edited) Nolf with a dominating 2nd period. Goes in trailing 0-1. Ends leading 10-1. Gold for @ILLINIWrestlingBlog's favorite wrestler. Edited January 10 by Wrestleknownothing 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge
Wrestleknownothing Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Finesilver sporting a sweet Snidely Whiplash 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge
Wrestleknownothing Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Finesilver v Geo for bronze at 86 Finesilver gets a takedown with 3 secs to go in the first to lead 2-1 at the break. GEO gets the push out in 2nd. Finesilver leads on criteria. 1:23 to go GEO gets the exposure off Finesilvers attack to lead 4-2. Finesilver still working the position to get behind, but GEO keeps the leg. Ref is letting them stay in position, GEO gets another exposure 6-2. Challenge thrown, but they keep going. They give the reversal to Finesilver 6-3 GEO. They wait until there is only 6 secinds left to address the challenge? Almost 30 seconds went by from challenge to stoppage. Challenge lost 7-3 GEO. And it ends that way. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge
ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted January 10 Author Posted January 10 Matthew Finesilver lost a hard-fought third-place match, but he can hold his head high knowing that he wears the perfect RAF mustache. You can see him waltzing into the Officer's Club after shooting down a Junkers 88 over the English Channel, can't you? 1 1

mspart Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Yeah, I don't think Zane keeps his position on the team. Tough tourney for a lot of guys. mspart 1

Aman Aman is the real deal, though, and I don't see any other American beating him right now. Maybe, David Taylor. Zane is best when he goes back to ground and works out a plan with his team. Plus, he's now got a Croatia/Zagreb Open ranking series tournament Gold Medalist to work with in the room. He's really smart, and he'll come up with the best way to reach his goals.
