Oh wait, really?

Cruz giving Richards all he can handle

[Le duke]

Oh wait, really? 

Yes. Top 2 go. They don’t wrestle the winners of each semi.

Oh shit, Cruz wins the challenge and has criteria with 7 seconds to go. 

[nhs67]

Damn.

It is so hard to not feel for Richards there.

Stoked for Gomez and Cruz... but Lee and Richards not winning hurts my heart.

[Spladle08]

Well, ummmm  that was not a good showing by the ole freestyle team. 
Somebody should've challenged Richards for this opportunity. 
But um bring on the last chance 

[cowcards]

I don't understand on positions like that where a step-out occurs that the clock doesn't get changed to when that action occurred.

Nobody beats Darian Cruz four times in a row. 

[NorthCarolina]

It has finally happened. 
 

Americans wrestling for other countries keeping Americans from qualifying the weight. Dang it.

Time to ban them from training in the US. Oh you're a Puerto Rican wrestler? Go train there then

[pawrestler]

What a disaster for the men’s here

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Richards can beat Gilman but not Cruz.

No disrespect, but Cruz has not had a stellar showing in freestyle these past several years.

Disappointing showing

Puerto Rico is legitimately part of the US, dipshit.

They legitimately have congress representation.

Beware the Ides of March.

Spencer Lee and Andrew Alirez should have been the reps for this event. Hope to see them at Last Chance.

* Actually prefer to see Zain at 65, if he can still be effective at the weight.

Well, that means Zane should have wrestled last week and S Lee this week.   Looks like Lee is going to the last chance unless something drastic happens. 

Who goes in place of Nick Lee?

This is serious now!   Everyone thought this was no big deal.  But a big deal it has become.

We'll at least know who our Oly reps are by then. Bit of a tight turnaround as always, about 2.5 weeks, give or take between trials and last chance.

Yes, and non-voting.

I love the confidence in Spencer Lee. But, he hasn't beaten Richards or Gilman yet. Not to mention Vito, Fix, or Suriano.

Austin Gomez over Lachlan, Mexico with 2 olympians

How do they decide who goes to the last chance qualifier?

I thought it was generally whoever wins the spot at trials 

[CHROMEBIRD]

It'll v.likely be our reps for those weights?
