alliseeisgold Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 1 minute ago, Wrestleknownothing said: If you are not smart enough to know the difference between fact and opinion, why should we think your opinion is smart? No opinion stated just facts laid. Dakes last loss at Olympics was for relying on chest wrap. Isn't that where coaches step in ? Yes. Another fact. Imagine having a talent like dake and underperforming with that talent ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of the Quakers Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Solid GR match going on here. Looks like the ref is going to try to ding Zare to even things up. Dan McDonald, Penn '93 danmc167@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 I feel horrible for Dake. Ugh. But he's so strong minded that I do not doubt that he will be ready for the bronze medal match. As for Takatani, wow. Techs Garzon, techs Tsabolov, and takes out Dake 20-12 (after losing him 4-6 last year). My goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpeltf Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 1 minute ago, Eagle26 said: That’s exactly what happened here! But what I can’t understand is that Dake used to have the lowest stance I’ve ever seen AND one of the best at scrambling. Guess he got too confident in his scrambling/chest wrap A good stance doesn't let the other guy in in the first place- preventing the ability to practice scrambling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last few days on the same schedule, the last Gold Medal match has been wrapped up by about 4:00. Lee's will be the first Gold Medal match today, which has been landing about 1-1:30 Eastern. Thanks. That was my guess, but I didn't want to miss the live broadcast if it was available at that source (which seems to be double-listed as "USA Network".) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neweruser69 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 2 minutes ago, larry_bird_enthusiast said: Those chest wrap calls by the ref were terrible and dake should have ended up with at least 6 more points than he had by the end if they weren’t all called wildly in favor of takatani. That said we all know he couldn’t let takatani get in on the leg as often as he did and sadly couldn’t keep him off it. Feel bad for dake and hope he can bounce back I had a bad feeling after seeing the ref was from Iran. Dake taking out an Iranian the previous round probably didn't help!

I thought Dake didn't get enough credit in those chest wraps, notably the 2-2-1, but the refs felt his hips were grounded in those sitations. Dake lost because of that leg lace. Ref didn't put him in it. 1 Dan McDonald, Penn '93 danmc167@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Japan was better than Dake today. He let him get to the ankle far to easily and let Japan control the match. It was close last time they wrestled and Japan got him this time. Move on. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbone Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Scoring was questionable for sure, but I don't think I could score it differntly with USA glasses on and have Dake on top. Dake lost because he didn't move his feet enough and the Takatani was great at finishing once he hit the low single. Dake scored when he got to his offense but Japan was quicker on the attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dake lost because of that leg lace. Ref didn't put him in it. 100% agree. Dake got beat straight up, just thought the score wasn't reflective of what I saw. Kyle unfortunately relies too much (and has been very successful) on his defense. It's a shame because I feel like if he kept on the offense in this one he would've won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
