nhs67 Posted July 29 Posted July 29 3 minutes ago, Caveira said: I’m aware of the weights. This is likely pre dehydration too….. when are weigh ins ? Even if it is pre-dehydration, he isn't going to walk around at 145lbs while waiting to go ~125.7lbs. He would walk around in the 140-143 weight and would pull off ~10lbs his last day. His senior year he was closer to ~138lbs rather than 140-143lbs. Even if you do the match at 138lbs, to be the same approximate amount of weight cut, he is going to be ~130.4lbs to weigh in at 57 KG (~125.7lbs). He is probably the most strict he has ever been on weight management. This is the Olympics and it is quite likely he won't try for it in 2028, so this is his one go of it. 1 "I know actually nothing.

Mr. PeanutButter Posted July 29 Posted July 29 I heard on FRL today that weigh ins will take place at the village, effectively giving competitors 4 hours between stepping on the scale and the mat. Is this legit? Could be very beneficial for RBY and Micic and the other mass monsters

While he has not lost in his small sample of senior level matches, he has by no means looked good to me and I think all his competitions have been +2kg.

Its the Reece Humphrey Worlds or Freshman Austin Desanto deal... hell even Zain's first Worlds,, somebody made me a straight up bet on here (I offered 4:1 and even offered simply medals) that he wins GOLD.... they paid which was cool, but it was just insane how the hype outweighed reality. Some attention gets behind some athletes and everyone somehow forgets about the competition. I'd be semi-shocked if he (RBY) wins more than one match (2 in a row feels impossible, but maybe Repachage)

Draw absolutely matters, there's just guys he will be favored against and guys he won't and there's more guys he wont..... RBY is absolutely favored over. Darian Cruz (I think) Maybe the Egyptian Gamal Mohamed or Dimantino Luna Fafe But Egorov, Lee, Uulu, Rzazade, Zou, Abdullaev, Aman, Abakarov, Kartbay, Harutyunyan, Higuchi, and even Micic (based on experience alone, ignore the world title) You'd have to consider him an underdog, things can be wacky, but it just seems more likely RBY draws a tough guy, and if he miraculously pulls it off, he is rewarded but another tough one.

You get guys at worlds that are just not on the level. 1

Husker_Du Posted August 2 Posted August 2 idk what to think of RBY's chances to make a full run. but i think he'll be fine Day 1. initially i thought the idea of him at 57 was too much. but he looked fine in Mexico, which was standard weigh ins. 1 TBD
