jchapman Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Making weight outside of Serbia or knee injury? 1 3 2 1 Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals.
Eagle26 Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Terrible news! I can only imagine how devastating it must be to train your whole life for an event only to lose that opportunity due to an injury from practice a few weeks before take the Olympics! 2

The UWW is always looking for a reason to disregard the entire careers work of “he who should not be named” if he is discussed as a replacement. 2

Truzzcat Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Really feel terrible for Stevan I think he had a great chance of winning it all again and his post was quite sad. That being said I think it really is spencers to lose at this point now. He will still have to deal with Higuchi but Rei's main offense is a left single and as long as spencer can keep that on the mat I just don't see Rei scoring a ton of points there given spencer's low leg defense. I am still very bullish on Haryutunyan as well and Abakarov but I think Stevans style and frame were going to give spencer the biggest headache. Wishing Stevan a speedy recovery and hope that his transition to 65kg for 2028 goes well (he has mentioned moving up after this olympics). He should feel much better at that weight. 1
D3 for LU Posted August 5 Posted August 5 (edited) ... does that mean there's a chance that they'll move Iuna Fafe of Guinea-Bissau into Micic's spot? D3 Edited August 5 by D3 for LU Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Jimmy Cinnabon Posted August 5 Posted August 5 This is excellent news for Spencer. The 2nd best news after the Russians boycotting.

He is generally not a Turdbiscuit, though, so I take him trying to dunk on someone who has already accomplished so much more in this sport than he could have ever dreamed of as a 'him' thing.

Ok, you guys are right. I wish Micic a speedy recovery, and it sucks he had to pull out of the Olympics. 3 Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals.

nhs67 Posted August 5 Posted August 5 1 hour ago, WrestlingRasta said: I don't think we will see him at 57 again. I believe what @jchapman would say is that we likely don't see him at 57 KG again unless it is held in Serbia. I believe a lot of people would have said that prior to it ever being in Serbia. Hell, even though I won't wear my tinfoil hat with this one, I will say that it is odd that he was already competing at 65 KG up until two months prior to Worlds last year... 1 "I know actually nothing.

Hammerlock3 Posted August 5 Posted August 5 I'm sympathetic to the turdbiscuit takes. Guy should be wrestling for the united states...not that thats a cohesive thought or anything... "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

We have our own Cold War front going on in the trenches here. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
