Ref was super adamant about it. Seems like side judges decided to trust him. It's difficult to capture screenshots due to peacock's protections and the fact that the camera angle is on the opposite site. fwiw the ref is on the side that the singlet pull happened on. Pretty clear even from this poor angle that there was a singlet pull, but much more subjective whether or not it was worth calling and having the ref take over the match like this w/ seconds left.

SocraTease Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 If the singlet pull was unintentional or didn't affect anything, I don't think it should be called ... or maybe just given a warning. Sad to end one's Olympic dreams on that small faux pas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinnacle Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 So chubby ref was not in the tank. If anything, he helped zahid stay upright which cost brooks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocraTease Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Any one else think JB was going to leave his shoes on the mat? It seemed like he might have entertained the thought but then the competitor within him said "no". Just a guess based on his bodily comportment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is GREAT for wrestling's image domestically and internationally. JB is more than the guy who won more golds for the US than anyone else. People forget now, but when JB first won a gold medal in 2011, the US struggled to win golds. In the ten years before he won his first gold -- from 2001 to 2010 -- the US won a total of 3 golds. Then JB came in and raised the bar for everyone. Edited April 20 by peanut 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Energy Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I had peacock on my phone. Was able to rewind and watched it a few times. Never saw the singlet pull. Must have been a super fast situation.

Don't hold the trials at a college campus, especially Penn bandwagon State again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within our community (all seventeen of uswho attend the US Open) Cael, JB, Snyder, Varner, Howe, Dake, Taylor, and Cox all deserve flowers. You know who else deserves a metric shitton of credit? Sean Bormet. What he did at the youth level is monumental and people don't pay enough respect. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess based on his bodily comportment I definitely thought this...I thought I saw that on his face after he lost to Dake in 2021, and I thought Dake might have talked him out of it in the moment.

Gives me flashbacks of bader being incensed at the burroughs tsargush match, can't remember if it was at worlds or the 2012 olympics, but the dude legit tore a fist-sized hole in JB's singlet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_wrestling Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 1 hour ago, pokemonster said: Ehhhh JB wrestled him at a significant weight disadvantage and DT only squeaked out a criteria win on him. Can't ignore that JB has owned him and Dake. Dake outclassed him last they wrestled. JB’s success against Dake is largely due to the old tournament design, where Dake had to wrestle multiple matches the same day. It’s not a coincidence that when they’ve been on even footing, Dake has been more successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SocraTease Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I wonder if the UWW could adopt a policy of something like the following to prevent guys from running at the end of the match, something that almost everyone does, including the very elite guys: With one minute left, if you are evading action, you get a warning (like a raised fist in folkstyle). If you continue to evade (run), the other guy gets a point. This way, you are warned and have the opportunity to engage and change your action and it doesn't leave things immediately in the hands of a ref. It would be a policy in addition to the caution plus one when guys go out of bound with larger leads. And it would help to rectify evasion when the score is much closer at the end. Just a thought.

Penn State wrestling is great, their guys on the roster seem like great guys (maybe a couple controversial statements from a guy or two aside), but the fan base has some real asses. Dirt bags that tie their ‘legacy’ on to a team they never were on or cared about until Cael started the winning streak they’re on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the assumption here of course is that it was a Penn State fan. They were not the only ones in attendance. People came from all over. It wasn't a home dual meet.
