Eagle26 Posted August 5 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truzzcat Posted August 5 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3 for LU Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) ... does that mean there's a chance that they'll move Iuna Fafe of Guinea-Bissau into Micic's spot?

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.

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.
