With this specific team a Disappointment. But it's the Olympics so still enjoy any medal we can bring home I Don't Agree With What I Posted
D3 for LU Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Bronze to Helen. Three Olympics medals... Olympic champion. Quiet a resume. D3 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
peanut Posted August 9 Author Posted August 9 (edited) 30 minutes ago, Jimmy Cinnabon said: Yaz gave up. Noble. Are you allowed unlimited injury timeouts? Seems weird. Yaz appeared to be injured and was down by six with little time left. Conceding and congratulating your opponent in that situation is the noble thing to do. Spazzing out and throwing your medal away and being upset for the rest of your life is not the noble thing to do. It is instead the ignoble thing to do. Edited August 9 by peanut
Crotalus Posted August 9 Posted August 9 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.Whether a real injury or just a cramp, it'd be nuts to boot a guy from the tournament that took multiple injury timeouts during the match and say he should have continued wrestling. Would set a bad precedent. 1

Amit won World Gold last at 19 and the year before at 18. She's 26, but it was a physical mismatch from the start. Taylor looked a weight class smaller than Helen, and didn't seem too surprised by the match outcome. https://olympic.ca/team-canada/hannah-taylor/ Dan McDonald, Penn '93 danmc167@yahoo.com
Voice of the Quakers Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Yup, Helen was probably 2nd best at this weight. 1 Dan McDonald, Penn '93 danmc167@yahoo.com

bnwtwg Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Because I have not been disappointed enough today, I'm going to watch the replay of the women's 10k since I was shitting the bed on here like I'm a member of the olympic MFS team. I'm sure that's going to be a real treat and will put me in an even better olympic spirit. i am an idiot on the internet
