Olympic Wrestling ... Day 5

[Lleynor]

That much was almost bs how they were doing everything to gift Yaz. I hate it he got hurt, but at what point do you credit the other guy? And the Bulgarian should've attacked the right arm. I'm sorry, this is for Gold. You do what it takes, legally, to win. Glad he did win.

Yazdani started calling for injury time in the first period when it was 1-0.  It would be weird to be faking an injury there.

New to freestyle wrestling?  Probably tweaked something but he was far from injured.  He wouldn't have been able to post on his right arm and butt scoot while fighting off that leg turk if he was legitimately injured

Not the way you to see anyone lose. Looked like more than a cramp to me lol. Hope he’s ok and he doesn’t hang it up

It was not a cramp. It came out 4x.

Sorry what does that mean? 

From Article 15:

If the UWW doctors can prove that a wrestler simulates an injury for whatever reasons to avoid competing against his opponent, he will be disqualified, placed last in the ranking, without any rank and the note “Dsq” near to his name.

Right that makes sense. Didn’t realize they did that, thank you!

The Bulgarian is a worthy champion.  He looked dumbfounded in the last 30 seconds. What a wild bout 

[Voice of the Quakers]

The UWW Secretary General does not look like he ever wrestled.

Biggest upset of mens tournament ? Did not see dake going down. He was on a mission and has been through the fire for this moment.

Seriously ...not trolling....when a guy gets praised up and down like cael he deserves criticism when he fails and this is legitimate failures that are frankly embarrassing. 

Burroughs talking about how takatani scouted so well

Let's call it what it is - cael DID NOT have dake prepared and no sideline adjustments.  He didn't have brooks ready for that situation.

The current most overrated thing in sports right now is cael Sanderson freestyle coaching. Large chance brooks and dake get to finals with another coach. Facts. 

Forgot to go over par teere with rby too.

An Olympic gold medal is out there. Do what you have to do. This isn't youth wrestling.

Nobody looks happy on that podium

No worries. I wasn't sure until I noticed the doc grab him as he exited. The Iranian coaches started to object and the doc waved them off and put both arms around Yaz. When Yaz raised his arm in protest, the doc pulled it down like he wanted to check it. I was looking at the rules yesterday and thought I saw something about the independence of the UWW docs in these situations.

[pawrestler]

Feel so bummed for Lee  

[Voice of the Quakers]

Spencer has been very gracious on the medal stand. Love to see it.

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Maybe I'm overthinking things, maybe I'm just searching for excuses, but the heavy bags under Lee's eyes make me wonder if he got scrappy sleep last night

What are you talking about he looks like he wants to crawl in a hole and die, just like every other silver medalist who has to go up.

[D3 for LU]

Maroulis will be the first up for the 57Kg medal bouts...

Would y’all consider 5 medals but no champs a failure or disappointment for men’s freestyle? 

[VakAttack]

I can not imagine having to do all that right after losing while every other guy up there just won.

[Voice of the Quakers]

These two are in the same weight class?

Failure in any year, but especially a year with no Russia. We should be debating asterisks not coaching philosophies.
