Olympic Wrestling ... Day 5

[Cowboy08]

Dake looking like a man on a mission, let's gooooooooooooooo

[skandar]

Bad challenge cost Kayla the match minutes after a bad challenge took Mason out of his match. What are the US coaches doing???

[Spladle08]

Takatani vs Tsabalov LORT this should be a solid match. 

But for matchups I'm dying to see (vs Dake), I hope Tsabalov wins

[D3 for LU]

Nice finishing sequence for Dake ending that bout.

Neat!

probably the best single match I have seen Kyle wrestle in a long time looked absolutely dialed.

Miracle loses a close one. Challenge cost her the match 

The challenge cost her the match, no doubt, but that was a very good challenge. There was zero amplitude on that "throw," and she was never exposed. Should NOT have been a four-point technique for KGZ. Even the judge making the call did not sound sure of himself. Not the usual "Challenge LOST." More of a "challenge lost."

Had every chance to win that match, tough tough tough loss

Yeah I still can’t believe they challenged that… I guess the coaches had a bad angle and couldn’t see that her knee was up, but she should’ve known that. 

[Pinnacle]

IRI had both the fake leg injury after the first TD and then the trepidation when he felt the chest wrap like "Oh No". 

[Spladle08]

Does Parris get eliminated here is the question.  Mongolia watch 2024

[Wrestleknownothing]

Heady scramble by Takatani for the 2

[Spladle08]

Takatani destroying Tsabalov . I lose my matchup  I wanted to see, but Takatani gave Dake fits last time, maybe it'll be a good match again

[pawrestler]

Takatani looking good too

[Truzzcat]

I know takatani and Dake had a close match last year, but tsabolov is the only human in the world with more than one win over sidakov and for that simple fact I would rather Dake wrestle takatani.

[Wrestleknownothing]

Takatani taking it tp Tsabalov 6-0 and near pin, but back on their feet

[scourge165]

I'm not as familiar with Zain's bracket. 

I thought we had an...reasonable shot at 4 Golds((Lee, Dake, Brooks, Snyder)unlikely...but possible at 86/97 and I predicted 2). 

I didn't consider Zain for Gold because I don't really follow 65 and...last I saw him at the WC, he looked like an egg beater.

 

What's his draw and bracket look like? 

[pawrestler]

That was a beastly four

[Gus]

Takatani looks locked in. 10-0

Just tell us you don’t know the rules lol

[Truzzcat]

however that takatani looks horrifying good grief.

[Pinnacle]

Takatani worth the price of admission all by himself. Looks tough.

[D3 for LU]

No matter what... Dake has to wrestle who ever is in front of him...

today it's Takatani.

[Spladle08]

In other news, Munnkhtur looks a little gassed. Maybe Parris Metcalfed him

[Eagle26]

Wow! Takatani putting on a show! I’m a bit nervous now after just gaining confidence

[Wrestleknownothing]

Takatani lifts Tsabalov looks at the crowd, asks their approval, then plants Tsabalov for fpur. 10-0. Are you not entertained?

65 is always disgusting, anyone can win essentially out of like 7 guys
