WKN... are you sayin' that Spencer will celebrate w/ a dr(r)am of whiskey when he wins gold?

Bottoms Up!

Perhaps a fine cognac would be called for in Paris. Maybe a Remy Martin Louis XIII.

He did? 
what was it before “freaking?”

Looks like he changed it from Freaking to Richard.  Doesn't making any sense.

I’m surprised a lot of folks seem to be writing off Higuchi. He is looking just as dominant as Lee and he’s an Olympic silver medalist. Lee might be wrestling a guy who is superior on their feet, which I’m not sure has happened in a long time.

It’s going to be a tough match.

Yeah I’m nervous.  Lee has been doing well getting turns, but you have to get there first.

Anyone who counts out a previous world champ and returning finalist at the Olympic weight is a fool. You don't make the Olympic finals on accident, no matter how good the draw.

I thought Higuchi was the favorite coming in, even when Micic was in the bracket. Still think that now. I think he is better on his feet and doesn't have any issues with a full high-paced match. Spencer certainly is more than capable of winning.

In my own head, I have expectations set at 55/45 in favor of Higuchi and would not be surprised by either winning.  I would only be surprised to see one dominate the other.

For those with no access to this  event live there are a few of Spencer Lees videos up on You Tube, including the most recent semi match. Can’t believe how easy he made that look, even at this level!
