World OG qualifier brackets are out...

[Eagle26]

Spencer gets to his lace to go up 10-6!!

[Dark Energy]

Stress levels up.  Then Lee with TD and laces!  Up 10-6 in first.

[D3 for LU]

10-6 Lee as  the China wrestler is getting med treatment.

[D3 for LU]

10-6 at the break, Lee... China has a 4pt move in his hip pocket though.

[Dark Energy]

Too close but a win.  Damn too close

[D3 for LU]

WOW!

Lee survives THAT one 10-9!!!

Ref was biased?  Stopped the lace prematurely.  Didn't call passivity on red in 2nd period.  Spencer held center and attacked.  Red did nothing until the final 30s.

Spencer was worn down.  Wins by one.

Wow! Lee survives… barely. I don’t have as much confidence in him as I did before, but hopefully he can get the job done!

He just beat the 1 seed relax 

[Grecojones]

Lee will get to the Olympics. But I wouldn’t call him a lock to medal. He looked like he couldn’t stop that guys attacks. He may struggle with quick guys like Japan’s rep. It’s giving Yianni. Glass cannon - crazy offence but weak defense.

But it's #1 of all the guys who didn't qualify.  That puts him pretty low on the world depth chart.  Lee does have a habit of building a lead and letting guys get close but not beating him (Nico).  Let us hope that is all this was.

[Gantry]

He clearly took his foot off the gas in the second period, which was the right call given how quick that guy was and countering him.   Don't give up counters, make him attack, give up points you have to spare, etc.

Wasn't pretty but god the job done.

I get what you’re saying, I’m just talking in the scope of this tournament. This is his first international senior tournament correct? Obviously some stuff is gonna need polished. 

[maligned]

How will the cut affect him coming back in 2 hours from a match with those high-leverage situations? He'll probably have Egorov, who won't have had to work as hard his first two matches as Lee just did. Sometimes a match that takes a guy into deep waters like that derails him completely going forward. The gas tank just doesn't refill. I hope he's able to recover well!

Zain up in 13 on Mat A

[D3 for LU]

Presently, as you look up the UWW world rankings @ 57Kg, it currently has Zou ranked 7th, behind Uguev of AIN(RUS).

He's not exactly chopped bok choi here.

So he is ranked based on points? Nothing to sneeze at, but wasn't Nate Jackson #1 in the world at some point using this metric?

[Interviewed_at_Weehawken]

HWC saying Spencer's next match in approximately two hours.  That was ten minutes ago.  So around 9:50 AM Eastern.

[D3 for LU]

After just seeing a PRK wrestler TF his opponent on Mat A... it's amazing how these No.Korean wrestlers suddenly appear and make noise on the Olympic scene and suddenly disappear from view.
