VakAttack Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I just can not believe Brooks took that shot. Just handfight! Make him prove he can take you down from his own shot in short time! Gah! And I wore a Team Brooks shirt today! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone in the media have the balls to ask cal in an interview about this and how reminiscent it is of Gilman. And how many times they practiced it ? Cal just dropped off the pantheon for me. Major recruiting tool for other rtcs to use is this and Snyder's lack of improvement since going to PSU. I don't think anyone has the balls. Certainly not at flo.

In no universe has DT ever been broken at Worlds/Olympics. A 79 KG guy broke Brooks today and it was unfortunate. I think he comes back next year, though, and destroys EVERYBODY. Edit: I think a lot of it is/was that this was his first time there. He will be fine. Edited August 9 by nhs67 1 "I know actually nothing.

Scouts Honor Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 back in the old days.. the coaches kind of picked who they wanted to go. if a newbie (or someone they didn't trust) won, they took them back to camp and made them win several in a row.. so they could get their choice in. read wrestlers at the trials... the russians did this for years... putting THE MAN in, whether he won or not im not saying taylor would have won... who knows what would have happened... just that brooks will be fine... he just needs experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But today and tomorrow Hawkeye fans above all others should have been standing together. This isn't even about Brooks being a knucklehead so don't cheer for him this is 100% about you get to cheer for your laundry and you need to show up when it matters most.

GrandOlm Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Happy for Novikov. Abandoning Ukraine was good. That's where wrestling is though, the Olympic Gold medalist can't have a career without changing nationalities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just had Sadulev come into his weight class. He lost to him before the NLWC, he lost to him after... And then he lost to Taz and I remain convinced he can turn that one around, but we'll see. But it's pretty damn hard to say he's regressed when he's lost to like two guys and one of them, you could argue, is the best ever in Freestyle.

Others have closed the gap. Azarpira beat him 6-3 in January ? listen: I love Kyle Snyder, but I’ve seen no improvement. He still has no reliable turns and his offense is pretty predictable and not extremely dynamic. I predict a bronze for him, but hope for gold. Bronze for him is a regression, and he might not get a medal if saduleev wrestled. Just the truth Edited August 9 by Interviewed_at_Weehawken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while Sadulaev was moving up a weight class. He also lost to guys before. He's lost to Sad a couple of times to lose an Olympic or WC...you're really getting...I'd say a little ridiculous with the regression or improvement IMO. He's spent 8 years now competing for WC and OCs. Even the GOAT's lost. If he wins a Gold here does that change anything? It's kinda hard when you win a WC and an OC before 21 to keep that up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wins a gold it changes my feelings, yes. But prime Snyder seemed to be in college. What major improvements has he made? How’s his par terre offense? Has he diversified his takedowns?

I'm simply saying you're taking a time frame when he didn't have Sadulaev or when he'd just moved up and when he won a WC and an OC. I don't know that HIS level of Wrestling has changed so much as...again, arguably the best Wrestler ever moved up and has just owned the weight class...until the last WC.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. This was in '70...and Douglas Wrestled in '70. So he didn't get screwed out of a spot, right? (Not that it's not still noteworthy...assuming it was racist).
