peanut Posted August 9 Author Share 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.

Crotalus Posted August 9 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old was her opponent. Amit was only 20 years old to win gold. Amit won World Gold last at 19 and the year before at 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnwtwg Posted August 9 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
