Rassling Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Just beat Nick Lee qualifying his weight for Paris 2024. For me, this makes 149 NCAAs even more exciting because I’ve always admired his tenacity and personal story. Edited March 2 by Rassling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWolverine Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Super excited for Austin, pretty remarkable journey he's had from retiring and falling out of love with wrestling 3-4 years ago to now an Olympian. Just hope that knee is ok for the postseason. Didn't seem to affect his wrestling too much, though he did grimace several times standing up and was limping a bit - despite what the "fake injury" twitter fans want to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckyBadger Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Gomez is a wild card because he often tries to force big moves and gets himself in trouble. But when he is on and not wresckless, it won’t be a surprise if he wins it all. Edited March 3 by BuckyBadger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yianni had only one other loss in college and it wasn't like that one. Gomez outwrestled him for 7 minutes in every position. Of course he is also capable of wrestling like he did against Ridge Lovett a few weeks ago. It will be interesting to see which Auatin shows up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckyBadger Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Lovett match from a few weeks ago is a good example. Last year at NCAAs against Parco is another. He tried to force a move right at the end of the period when he was either up or had choice. Got put to his back and spent the rest of the match taking risks to catch up.
