Voice of the Quakers Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Bruce Baumgartner was described as a moving brick wall in his prime. Same applies to Lopez. Dan McDonald, Penn '93 danmc167@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of the Quakers Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Still not sure I believe top Lopez is/was better than top Karelin, but five gold medals will speak for themselves. Lopez's positioning is top notch, his low gut is unstoppable, and he is so good at conserving energy. Wonder if he will have any thoughts on 2028 after these games are said and done.

Would love to see 45-46 y/o Lopez make a 2028 run. Great storyline for him and the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice of the Quakers Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Hard to believe the straight attacks from KGZ are going to work on Elor, particularly with a night of film study. Fingers crossed. Dan McDonald, Penn '93 danmc167@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Elor wins out, she'll be the new youngest US wrestler to get Olympic gold. Snyder was 20yrs 9mo 1dy when he won in Rio and Cejudo was 21yrs 6mo 10dy. Elor will be 20yrs 7mo 5dy. Gotta ease up on the GOAT talk, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boathead Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Does peacock hate Greco too? No announcers for most of what I watched (although it’s always nice to hear [mention=17]Jason Bryant[/mention] in the background) Whoever was announcing Elor’s match seemed confused about the slipped throw ruleCan you explain the slip throw rule? I am unaware.Sent from my F92 E 5G using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unaware. Were you the announcer? There were announcers but hard to hear the first session. Much better semis. Burroughs and whoever the other one is. Basically, if you take a serious risk- generally a throw attempt and it literally slips off and you end up directly on the mat with the opponent on top not having done anything to earn it- no points.
